For the sake of this wine list, our natural wines are wines that are grown or produced by winemakers implementing organic & biodynamic practices, mostly unfined & unfiltered, and the least amount of sulfur added at the end of bottling, or no sulfur added at all. These wines are complex and interesting much like our food and greatly complement our menu. These wines are alive, have character and evolve very quickly over time in the glass. They are meant to be enjoyed with food, with us here at Alter.

    #6 TASTING NOTES BY: MASTER SOMMELIER MAX CAST Moderate intensity of aroma with ripe yellow pear, fresh Meyer lemon, quince zest, golden delicious apple, and notes of honey and button mushroom (possibly signs of botyrtis). The wine is dry, full-bodied, with an oily texture. There is phenolic bitterness as well. TASTING NOTES BY: F.L.X. TABLE’S MICHALIS KALAMPOUKAS Notes of ripe peach, lemon cream and apple. There is Chamomile-like floral quality, mushroom and wet wool notes with some possible botrytis from the notes of dried honey and ginger. Sweetness: Dry Tannin: Slight Phenolic Bitterness Alcohol: Medium Plus Acid: Medium Oak: old world or new? climate? grape? country? place? WINE DETAILS: Winery: Famille Hugel Cuvee: Classic “Hugel” Grape: Pinot Gris Country: France Regions: Alsace Vintage: 2017 Alcohol: 14.5% Elevage: No New Oak Other: Slow, temperature controlled fermentations NOTES : Alsatian Pinot Gris is very different from its Italian counterpart Pinot Grigio; it is even slightly more aromatic. This could be confused with Marsanne/Roussanne blend form the Rhône, but those have slightly more lifted aromatics and are often aged in oak. Once you have narrowed down moderate aromatics, medium plus body, oily texture, medium acid, there are very few places to go, except Alsatian Pinot Grigio. A great blind tasting example that what is not there also can lead the way to a conclusion. Retail Price: $25 Click Here to Reorder at F.L.X.

  • Blanc De Blancs Nv Brut, Champagne, France
    FRANCE CHAMPAGNE | BLANC DE BLANCS NV BRUT, ODILON DE VARINE, Cellar Master CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE ABOUT THE WINERY Champagne Gosset has been family owned and operated since 1584, making it the oldest wine house in Champagne. The winery’s style delivers pure, precise, elegant and textured wines, with remarkable longevity. These high-quality wines reflect their sourcing, primarily Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, and are crafted without malolactic fermentation and with a minimum of inputs beyond what the grapes provide. ABOUT THE WINE The Grand Blanc de Blancs encompasses the finesse of the Côte des Blancs and the structure of the Montagne de Reims. This cuvée launched in 2011 – a bold move from a winery whose history is rooted in the Pinot Noir territory of Aÿ. However, in recent decades, Gosset’s wines are dominated by Chardonnay, reflecting access to the best Chardonnay sites. The family and winery team offers a wine with finesse, elegance and freshness in the style of its other cuvées. KEY SELLING POINTS • Two keys to Gosset style are avoiding malolactic fermentation, which allows the terroir of the cru vineyards to shine, and the extended lees aging, which adds texture and complexity • During assemblage, all the lots are tasted blind – there are no recipes with Champagne Gosset; dosage is also selected during blind trials • Key crus influence this wine: Avize brings vivacity and purity, Chouilly adds richness and texture and Cramant provides minerality and salinity • Grand Blanc de Blancs is technically an Extra Brut style with 6 g/L dosage TECHNICAL DETAILS Appellation: Champagne, France Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay Aging: 4 years on lees before disgorgement | Malolactic Fermentation: None Alcohol: 12.0% | Total Acidity: 6.2 g/L | Residual Sugar: 6.0 g/L “… the latest rendition of the NV Grand Blanc de Blancs Brut exhibits scents of citrus oil, green apples, fennel, white flowers and freshly baked bread.
