Produced from vines ranging from 25 to over 50 years old, the aromatically rich, smoky, and somewhat floral 1997 Sylvaner Les Vieilles Vignes is an excellent value. It offers a light-to-medium-bodied, concentrate core of mineral-laced white fruits in its crisp personality. It should be consumed with shellfish or light fish dishes over the next 2-3 years.
