2010 White Burgundy Recommendations

MOTHER NATURE MEETS WO/MAN - 2010 BURGUNDY WHITES IN YOUR GLASS(ES)

In Burgundy, every vintage feels like a roll of the dice. Today’s disaster is tomorrow’s glory, Mother Nature willing. And, vice versa.

Yes, Chardonnay is the Holy Grail in Burgundy, but there’s also some awfully cool juice that comes from a few other grapes and sometimes for less coin.

7. Pierre Matrot Bourgogne Chardonnay (2010)

Restrained nose with subdued fruits. Fern, moss and marjoram surface first. With time in the glass, mirabelle and Comice pear appear. A tremendous saline quality makes the wine zesty and dry, and there’s a chalkiness that is almost Chablisienne. Medium-plus finish – very impressive for “just” a Bourgogne.
