I usually crap on the French concept of superiority with
wine and food, but there are some great French wines
nonetheless. Today, I figured I would give them a play,
looking for a Pinot Gris (Alsace) but finding a Chardonnay.
I chose to have this with something spicy, and the taste
amazed me as something different, which I couldn't quite
place beyond some lemon pastries. So, when looking at the
rear of the bottle, it was interesting that they mentioned
white flowers, and I'll be damned if it didn't remind me of
lillies. This wine has an interesting taste which is some
combination of perfume (the smell of lillies), lemons, and
something else that I can't figure out.
The finish is long and the body is slightly thick.
This wine would be great with lobster, shrimp, or
scallops, as well as herb flavored poultry.
