Domaine Maire & Fils Chateau Chalon Blanc 2013

Country: France

Grape Variety: 100% Savagnin

Tasting notes:
A subtle wine. Its highly developed, enchanting nose gives off walnut, wild mushroom and spicy aromas. Its complex, elegant structure is very present in the mouth. A remarkable range of aromas then open up on the palate: well-developed walnut, dried fruit, curry, saffron, and roasted hints. The finish is long and very persistent.

 

Food pairings:
This dry, powerful wine ages wonderfully well. It can also be enjoyed at any moment, from the appetizers to the dessert: Comté cheese, gougères (baked savoury choux pastry made of choux dough mixed with cheese), mushrooms on toast, poultry, white meat or fish with cream sauce and vin jaune, snails, crayfish, risotto, exotic, spicy dishes, Comtois cheese platters, and walnut cakes. It is also wonderful for making cream sauces.
