Tasting DOMAINE DROUHIN from Bourgogne France with John:
- Macon Village 2006 Chardonnay:
Mâcon-Villages is a flowery, fruity wine with a clear and brilliant hue. It has a crisp, medium body and a clean, lean acidity. Very pleasant finish.
As with other white wines, Mâcon-Villages should be served chilled but not cold. It is meant to be enjoyed in its youth within 2 years. By itself as an aperitif. Easy to match with food, it will be best with white meat dishes or sea food.
It is a perfect accompaniment to full flavored fish dishes and charcuterie.

- Laforêt 2006 Pinot Noir: The hue has a brilliant ruby-garnet color. The nose offers effusive aromas of crushed berries (raspberry, redcurrant, and
blackcurrant come to mind). On the palate, the wine is full of charm and very pleasant to drink : fresh and fruity berry flavors with light and elegant tannins. Drink young, up to two or three years. We recommend to serve the Laforêt at 15°-16°C (61F). Easy to match with food, it will be best with assorted delicatessen, poultry, white meat, "au gratin" dishes, roasted meat and soft cheeses. http://www.dreyfusashby.com/pdf/DR/Rouge/Tech_LaforetRouge.pdf
