Joseph Drouhin Laforet Chardonnay

This past weekend we had a bottle of the 2006 Joseph Drouhin Laforet Bourgogne Chardonnay. The Joseph Drouhin Vineyard is a family owned winery in France that dates back to the 1880's. This golden wine is made from 100% chardonnay grapes picked from all over the burgundy area. It has a pear and apple aroma along with subtle citrus and the flavors are much the same along with some almond. This wine is fermented in stainless steel so a little crisper than whites fermented in wood. It was a nice match to our sole (fish). Would also be nice with cheese or white meats. Give this wine a try.
