Cave Beau Reveil, Lavaux (Vaud, Switzerland) Chasselas 2016

 This vintage of this wine is still recommended with relish, though it can’t quite compete with 2017 bottlings from this area, and freshness is what these wines are all about.  Its only shortcoming is a slightly less expressive bouquet than the best examples, but everything else is excellent.  Flavors of pear and golden apple are delicious, with a slightly salty minerality also lending interest.  A bit less fizzy than many Swill renditions of Chasselas, but still showing a little prickle on the palate, this is a wine to grab…especially for the $11 that I paid for it.
