The pale yellow color of this French Burgundy is deceiving.  On the nose, it shows bright lemony and freshly cut grass aromas.  In the mouth, it’s bright and crisp with Meyer lemon and Asian pear flavors.

Pairings:  Salmon tartare, sauteed white-flesh fish, white pizza.

Style: White

Grape Type(s): Chardonnay

Region: Burgundy, France

Around $19

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
