Wine By Nine

White Wine by Faiveley from Burgundy, France - regions. Glittering light yellow with green reflections. Aromas that are very agreeable and expressive present scents of white flowers, lime blossom, vanilla, and toffee. The attack is fresh and generous; balanced presentation of well-integrated wood in the mouth offers lovely fullness and an organoleptic persistence that is exceptional for a Bourgogne Blanc. Serve with fish terrine, fish en papillotes or white meats. Astoundingly rich, ripe nose given the price; scents of luscious peach, baked banana and butter. Beautifully textured flavors of stone fruit and lots of butter. Caramel in the finish. -Wine News

White Wine by Louis Jadot from Burgundy, France - regions. Macon-Villages Jadot is a clean, fresh Chardonnay with typical varietal fragrance and elegant, citrus and white fruit flavors on the palate. Vinified without oak contact, the delicate acid balance carries into a refreshing, crisp finish.

White Wine by Joseph Drouhin from Burgundy, France - regions. Pretty flavors of almond paste, grilled hazelnut and lotus flowers. The overall impression is of lightness, harmony and elegance. The wine reflects: the mineral and lively quality of Chablis; the delicate aromas of Rully; the richness and roundness of Meursault; the seduction and elegance of Puligny Montrachet.

White Wine by Joseph Drouhin from Burgundy, France - regions. In the southern part of the Cote d'Or, a few miles South of Santenay, lie the vineyards of Rully. It is a lovely area, part of the Region of Mercurey. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grown on the brown calcareous soil, the Chardonnay being found mostly on clay and limestone. As in the rest of Burgundy, the continental climate, with its warm Summer and mild fall, is very favourable to the good maturity of the grapes. Rully is a delicious white Burgundy wine which resembles the whites from the Cote de Beaune: a luminous, golden green colour, a toasty, fruity nose, a refined, elegant body with floral and cinnamon notes. This exquisite wine, which goes so well with delicate fish and most shellfish, is also an excellent value.

White Wine by Bouchard Aine & Fils from Burgundy, France - regions. A Chardonnay, famous for its finesse and elegance, from the separate villages of Pouilly and Fuisse. Very well-balanced between the fruit(pear and apricot) and floral notes, with a delicate touch of honey. Finishes with mineral and oak undertones. Tailor-made for seafood, shellfish, and white meats.

White Wine by Joseph Drouhin from Burgundy, France - regions. St. Veran's Jurassic chalky soil, a continuation of the limestone strata found in the Côte d'Or, is ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes. Picked by hand, the grapes (100% Chardonnay) are gently pressed. Bottling is usually done in the Spring following harvest. Saint-Véran is very close stylistically to Pouilly-Fuissé, with its golden green hue, its intense fruity, flowery nose and its refreshing flavours. It can be enjoyed very young, two to three months after bottling. Yet, give it one or two more years to fully appreciate its complexity. 11 to 13oC is the correct temperature to serve a Saint-Véran. It marries well with hors-d'oeuvre, delicately flavoured charcuterie, oysters, mussels and any other shellfish.

A perfect complement to lemon chicken, Asian dishes or lighter pasta and seafood entrees. Tortoise Creek is a range of varietal wines from the Languedoc district of the South of France.

Serve well chilled as an aperitif, or with seafood dishes without rich sauces, chicken, veal and pork.

White Wine by Laboure Roi from Burgundy, France - regions. The grape of white Burgundy and Champagne is now grown with great success all over the world. It is remarkably adaptable to soil and climate, and will always produce a wine with fine rounded fruit that is balanced by good acidity. Whereas in Burgundy wines made from Chardonnay may need several years to be at their best, wines from the Midi show their fruit early and should be drunk within two years of the vintage.
