 Dôle
des Monts 2004
Its name is legendary. Its appeal is entirely in its harmony, its distinction,
its aromas of ravenous fruitiness, its nicely blended tannins. With a
vigour that is concealed beneath its elegant exterior, it is the amorous
accomplice of a leg of lamb, poultry and grilled meats, partridge or guinea
fowl.
About Dôle des Monts:
The Washington Post
By Michael Franz
Wednesday, January 26, 2005; Page F05
"Gilliard (Valais, Switzerland) Dole des Monts 2002: Swiss wines
are chronically expensive because of the strong Swiss franc, the country's
high wage scale and the expense of tending small plots on steep slopes.
However, they are also distinctive and often quite wonderful, as in the
case of this ultra-delicate beauty made predominantly from Pinot Noir.
Color and body are both light, so this isn't your thing if you only go
for big bruisers. However, the soft texture and delightful notes of black
cherries, spices and wood smoke make this a perfect match for fish, light
chicken dishes or a Tuesday night omelet."
