C'est bien connu : l’appellation XXXX donne des vins d’une admirable finesse alliant structure et dentelle.
Any suggestions for this? I'm taking "dentelle" to be delicacy, elegance, but it's a tricky one to phrase.
Thanks.

combining backbone and style
Since you already have 'finesse' before these two terms, I suggest 'delicacy, elegance or finesse' for that, followed by 'backbone' and 'style' for 'structure' and 'dentelle' respectively.
"Structure
Les constituants tanniques et acides qui constituent la matière solide d'un vin."

"Dentelle
très fin, très délicat, parfums très subtils"
(http://www.vignobletiquette.com/info/degust/vocddeg.htm)
"(Vin de) Dentelle (qualité) : vin à la finesse, à la subtilité et à la délicatesse légendaire. Le Musigny par exemple, l’un des plus grands vins de Bourgogne est qualifié de vin de dentelle."

'The 2007 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin Chateniere 1er Cru, has nice citrus-toned perfume with mineral nuances. With similar flavors on the palate, it is very pure, has good backbone and very nice flavor – a wine of finesse and style.'
