TASTING BOURGOGNE



DOMAINE DROUHIN
- Macon Village 2006 Chardonnay:

Mâcon-Villages is a flowery, fruity wine with a clear and brilliant hue. It has a crisp, medium body and a clean, lean acidity. Very pleasant finish.As with other white wines, Mâcon-Villages should be served chilled but not cold. It is meant to be enjoyed in its youth within 2 years. By itself as an aperitif. Easy to match with food, it will be best with white meat dishes or sea food.It is a perfect accompaniment to full flavored fish dishes and charcuterie.


- Laforêt 2006 Pinot Noir:
The hue has a brilliant ruby-garnet color. The nose offers effusive aromas of crushed berries (raspberry, redcurrant, andblackcurrant come to mind). On the palate, the wine is full of charm and very pleasant to drink : fresh and fruity berry flavors with light and elegant tannins. Drink young, up to two or three years. We recommend to serve the Laforêt at 15°-16°C (61F). Easy to match with food, it will be best with assorted delicatessen, poultry, white meat, "au gratin" dishes, roasted meat and soft cheeses.
