2007 Domaine de la Cadette Bourgogne Blanc
DOMAINE DE LA CADETTE
by Kermit Lynch (Importer)
"What if you could buy a distinctive Chardonnay for under twenty
bucks? Better yet, what if you could buy an excellent white Burgundy
for under twenty?... Imagine a white Burgundy that seems to present certain qualities reminiscent of Chablis, and other traits that are more like the Côte de Beaune whites. Such a wine finds a lot of appropriate occasions, so our white Burgundy value from Vézelay makes a lovely apéritif, shines with shellfish and fried seafood, and recently hit the spot with roasted, thyme-dusted Portobello mushrooms. I could go on.
Did you know that a lot of domestic Chards have some residual sugar left
expressly to make them seem rich? That they are yeasted and have to be acidified? That they are often flavored with oak chips? And, by the way, that the vines are irrigated with, gulp, water? Our Value of the Month is organically farmed, vinified using native yeasts, never acidified, never chipped, never irrigated. Leave it to Mother Nature!
And how’s this for a Palinesque conclusion: winemaker Jean Montanet pals
around with Bernard Raveneau."
