2008 JJ Vincent "Marie Antoinette" Pouilly Fuisse'

[hotwine]

WW will stay clear of this one.... a very feminine Chardonnay from the Maconnaise region of Burgundy, flits around on the palate like a featherweight ballerina; an excellent expression of the grape without any discernible influence of oak. Superb with skinless chicken breasts coated with flour and bread crumbs and sprinkled with lemon zest and grated parmesan, then sauteed in EVOO. Sides were steamed black rice and green salad, dessert a single Girardelli 72% square. Wonderful! 13% alc/vol and $15.99 at Costco.

If you're accustomed to oaky New World Chardonnays, you won't like this. Don't buy it! Leave it all for me.
