2007 Reserve de la Chevre Noire Bourgogne Blanc

[hotwine]

From Albert Ponnelle, this is a very delicate, feminine Chardonnay, like nothing you'd ever find from the left coast. Nose is fleeting, hard to capture, and it brings an immediate smile on the palate. Round and soft, it was a perfect pairing with orange roughie sauteed in EVOO smothered in sauteed veggies (zuccini, yellow squash, small white onions, green olives, tomatos, garlic). 13% alc/vol and $11.79 at Costco. Back up the truck! (And I don't even LIKE Chardonnay!)
