L'esprit de l'escalier, or staircase wit, is a phrase the French use to describe that moment when you come up with the perfect retort a little too late — you've left the scene and are headed down the stairs already. At least the timing is always right whenever you decide to open this fresh and energetic Bordeaux Blanc, with textbook white flower and stone fruit flavors vibrantly displayed on the palate. It's delicious on its own, but would also match well with freshly prepared fish.
