Neat Thoughts About Food, Wine, Travel & More
I had this wine in Quebec at an outdoor party where it was paired with Dad’s Quebec Smoked Meat Sandwiches.
In the glass, this nicely-balanced wine is a medium red. The ripe cherry nose is fruity and bright. In the mouth, there is a nice level of acidity and cherries mix with strawberries on this light-medium bodied French Pinot Noir.
Pairings: Salmon, pork, roast chicken or duck. Pairs well with most food.
Style: Red
Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir
Region: Burgundy, France
Price: $15
Paired this delicious wine with sea bass a few weekends ago and it was a great combination. The 2007 Montagny 1er Cru Les Coeres is a classic example of white Burgundy. It’s rich yet offers a nice level of acidity and minerality. It’s floral with intense fruit on the palate but features a long crisp finish. Just a beautiful example of what vignerons should do with Chardonnay.
Style: White Wine
Grape Type(s): Chardonnay
Region: Burgundy, France
Around $35
'07 Albert Bichot Pinot Noir
Had this Burgundy at a dinner party hosted by my father in Quebec, Canada. Hoping this wine is available in the USA as it’s a pretty nice example of French Pinot Noir at a very affordable price.
On the nose is a light fruity, fresh aroma. On the palate is the typical black cherry, but unlike other Burgundies in this price point, there’s elegance, balance and a nice level of acidity with the 2007 Albert Bichot Pinot Noir.
Around $17.
