Onwards with the Burgundy tastings. Here we have a village level wine from Vosne-Romanée. On pouring, I thought this wine was faulty, so funky were some of the smells emerging from glass. But it wasn't -- it's just on the wilder side of Pinot, and burgundy region perhaps all the better for it. Complex aromas of pepper, stalk, sous-bois and burgundy region bright red strawberry fruit intermingle on the nose, but these descriptors may give false impression of my certainty -- it's a subtle, changeable nose that has evolved a fai

Burgundy region - I Love French Wine and Food A Burgundy Aligote

If you are looking for fine French wine and burgundy region food, consider the world famous Burgundy region in eastern France. Although it's fairly rare, you may even find a bargain, and burgundy region I hope that you'll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white wine based on the Aligote grape.

Among France�s eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks fourth in acreage if you include the Beaujolais region, which most people do in spite of their considerable differences. Partisans, and burgundy region they are many, claim that Burgundy is really the number one or number two wine-producing region in France, if not in the world. The wine reviewed below comes from somewhere in Burgundy, whose wine production is almost 90% white, almost exclusively Chardonnay. The Aligot� grape is Burgundy�s number two white grape, but remains fairly unknown. We�ll find out whether this lack of notoriety is deserved or not. In addition to Burgundy Aligot� is grown in Bulgaria, a not a very-well known wine producer but one that is occasionally generates bargains. The best Aligot� wines are said to come from the village of Bouzeron and burgundy region its environs, located in the C�te Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. These wines are occasionally a blend of Aligot� and burgundy region Chardonnay. To the best of our knowledge the reviewed wine is pure Aligot� and burgundy region does not come from the Bouzeron area of Burgundy.

If you are visiting Burgundy, and burgundy region you really should, make sure to stop by the C�te d�Or village of Ch�teauneuf about twenty five miles (forty kilometers) southwest of Dijon in northern Burgundy. This little hilltop village seems to come straight out of the Middle Ages, except for the tourists who have recently discovered it. Its focal point is the Ch�teau (Castle) built in 1132 and burgundy region occupied by the same family for nine generations until 1456 when Cathrine of Ch�teauneuf was burnt to death; it is said that she poisoned her second husband, Jacques d'Haussonville. The castle then went through various owners until the French Revolution when it was expropriated and burgundy region the village�s name was changed to Montfranc. With the construction of the Burgundy Canal its fate was sealed so to speak. Be sure to see the castle�s medieval tapestries and burgundy region its reflection in the canal. By the way, the famous Ch�teauneuf du Pape wine is from Provence, not from Burgundy.

Before reviewing the Burgundy wine and burgundy region imported cheeses that we were lucky enough to purchase at a local wine store and burgundy region a local Italian food store, here are a few suggestions of what to eat with indigenous wines when touring this beautiful region.
Start with Jambon Persill� (Ham in Parsleyed Aspic).
For your second course savor Rable de Lievre � la Piron (Saddle of Hare with Shallots and burgundy region White Wine).
And as dessert indulge yourself with Mousse au Chocolat (Chocolate Mousse.)

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and burgundy region review are purchased at the full retail price.

Wine Reviewed
Jaffelin Bourgogne Aligot� 2005 12.7% about $14.00

Let�s start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note Pale straw colour; Subtle aromas of mineral,citrus, anjou pear and burgundy region green apple; Dry, light bodied, with clean apple/lemon flavours, crisp acidity on finish. Serving Suggestion Add cassis for a Kir, shellfish, light seafood dishes, ceviche or pan fried trout. And now for the review.

My first meal was whole-wheat spaghetti with a homemade tuna, red onion, garlic, and burgundy region Greek olive sauce that had a commercial tomato spaghetti sauce as its base. I doused on a lot of grated Parmesan Cheese. The wine was light and burgundy region short but did linger slightly. It was pleasantly acidic. As I continued the meal I realized that this wine is not weak. Its acidity was a good accompaniment to fruit-juice candy.

The next task for this Aligot� was to accompany bagels, smoked salmon, and burgundy region 15% cream cheese along with sides of Greek olives some with chili pepper flakes, thinly sliced red onions, and burgundy region an artichoke, garlic, and burgundy region tomato salsa. The wine was lightly acidic and burgundy region surprisingly long. The salsa intensified its fruit, but both the olives and burgundy region fresh blueberries (no, not together) seemed to deaden the wine.

The final meal was a disappointing �Louisiana� style home barbecued chicken sausage. Both the wine and burgundy region the meat were rather tasteless, but when I added some very strong mustard the wine�s fruit perked up a bit. The sweetness of the barbecued corn on the cob turned up the wine�s acidity. But the artichoke and burgundy region garlic salsa made this thin Burgundy, yes it is a Burgundy, even thinner.

The first cheese pairing was with a mild-tasting Italian Pecorino Fruilano. The wine was light and burgundy region fruity with decent length. The Dutch Edam was nutty, a bit fatty, and burgundy region somewhat sour. The cheese itself was tastier; in contrast the wine was weaker.

Final verdict. Burgundy brings its expectations. They weren�t met by this wine. What do you want for this moderate price? More than what I got here. If I can get my hands on a Bouzeron Aligot� I�ll give it a shot.

A Look At Bordeaux And Burgundy Wines

The regions of Bordeaux and burgundy region Burgundy in France are world renowned for producing some of the best wines available anywhere. Let�s take a look at them individually.

First we have Bordeaux, this world famous region in France near the Southeast coast makes some of the best and burgundy region most famous red wines as well as white wines and burgundy region dessert wines. Of these, the most notable of the red wines come form Medoc, Saint-Emilion, and burgundy region Pomerol. Most of the high quality white wines hail from the area called Graves while the best dessert wines are found in Sauternes and burgundy region Saint-Croix-du-Mont.

With the red wines of Bordeaux we usually see blends including Cabernet Sauvignon and burgundy region Merlot and burgundy region occasionally a little of Petit Verdot. The dessert wines and burgundy region white wines from the Bordeaux region are mainly of Sauvignon Blanc and burgundy region Semillion. Some of the most expensive and burgundy region in demand wines come from the Bordeaux region including the world famous Chateaux Lafite-Rothschild.

The Bordeaux region is a diversified wine growing area with nearly ten thousand wine making chateaux, and burgundy region over thirteen thousand wine growers. Due to the sheer numbers you will find a variety of wines from old and burgundy region established aged Bordeaux wines to young wines. Bordeaux wines offer everything from the top quality wines like the Rothschild mentioned above which deserves the price it brings, to even the more common table wines that are much less expensive but still of superior quality. You can�t go wrong with a wine from this region.

The Burgundy Region is located in North Central France reaching from Dijon south to Beaujolais. It is said that the farther north you go in Burgundy the better the wine. The far northern area of Burgundy called Cote d�Or means hills of gold and burgundy region probably for this reason! It is here that we find the Pinot Noir grape that is responsible for some of the world�s most delicious and burgundy region complex wines. Some of the very best vineyards in Burgundy are right here in the hills, sitting in the actual hillsides.

Beaujolais is located in the southern area of the Burgundy region and burgundy region instead of the Pinot Noir grape, the wine producers here choose the Gamay which is known to be fruitier. These wines are made to be consumed while they are young and burgundy region it is recommended that they be chilled to even further enhance the berry taste. A good Beaujolais wine will be fruity and burgundy region yet still be dry.

Many of the Burgundy vineyards are ranked �Grand Cru� which indicates the very best vineyards and burgundy region quite a few others are labeled �Premier Cru� which means exceptional. When looking at the label of a wine from the Burgundy Region you will find the exact location the grapes come from and burgundy region that is usually all the information given.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about the Bordeaux and burgundy region Burgundy regions and burgundy region their famous wines, now go out and burgundy region get some and burgundy region try it for yourself!
