1.White B&G Pouilley Fuisse Chardonnay 2006
Pouilley Fuisse comes under the appellation of Burgundy located at central part of France with fantastic dry white wines made out of chardonnay. No wonder Chardonnay is believed to be originated in the region of France. However, there is other Sauvignon Blanc variety called Pouilley Fume. Don’t get confused about it. It is extremely distinctive grape variety. Normally 90 % of the Burgundy white is made of Chardonnay. If you see the bottle of Burgundy which doesn’t mention the grape variety, then it is Chardonnay.
In France, Pouilley Fuisse is not considered as expensive wine thought it is moderate and consumed in daily basis. Its distinctive nature of pale and refreshing color indicates sophisticated smell reminding of fruit basket of spring full of different flavors.
It has distinct taste than Australian Chardonnay being lighter on crisp side and aged in oak barrel makes it milder and smoother. Therefore, lots of people relate their character with buttery mostly seen in Sauvignon Blanc.
Why should you drink it?
It goes well with our spiced food on festival especially with Mutton delicacies though not to be combined with BBQ. Simply pair it with your regular stew or braised food. My best pairing will be with Liver Fried, Lungs Fried, Intestines and Rakti.
