I Love French Wine and Food - A Burgundy ChablisArticle Summary: I love French wine and food so much that I am doing a series on the typical and special wines and foods of France's eleven wine regions. This article explores the Chablis district in the Burgundy region of eastern France and reviews a Chardonnay wine. Was it a bargain? I'll make specific recommendations, and won't be silent if I'm unhappy with a wine.
If you are looking for fine French wine and food, why don't you consider the world famous Burgundy region in eastern France? Who knows, you may even find a bargain. I really hope that you'll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a Chardonnay white wine coming from old vines (vieilles vignes) in the Chablis district of northern Burgundy.
Among France's eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks fourth in acreage when you include the Beaujolais region. Most people do [url=http://xuxizo.com/news/html/?26421.html]abercrombie pas cher Beautiful and graceful are the Hibiscus - written by Carolen[/url] so despite their considerable differences. Partisans, and 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 [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] from the Chablis district of [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php[/url] northern Burgundy that is physically closer to Champagne than to the rest of Burgundy. Chablis is known for its white wines, but [url=http://www.anepf.fr]doudoune moncler pas cher[/url] some red is produced, especially from a local grape known as Cesar. If I can get my hands on some, I'll be glad to give it a shot. Until then I'll have to be satisfied with Burgundy whites.
Chablis is not only a style of wine known around the world. It's also a village of fewer than three thousand [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin[/url] in a district of the same name. You can enjoy some old houses, the Serein River, and the Length-Depaquit Castle but its main attractions are the vineyards and the wine shops.
The smaller single-street village of Vezelay was a major pilgrimage site during the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries. The medieval Basilique Ste-Madeleine (Saint Madelene's Basilica) is really worth seeing for its Romanesque architecture. The grounds are also beautiful. In fact the complex is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The same guy who restored the basilica also restored the Cathedral of Amiens and Notre-Dame in Paris.
Before reviewing the Burgundy wine and imported cheeses that we were lucky enough to purchase at a local wine store and local imported food stores, here are some suggestions of what to eat with indigenous wines when touring this beautiful region. Start with Escargots de Bourgogne (Snails in Parsley Butter). For [url=http://www.skoda-witzke.de/woolrichoutlet.php]woolrich outlet[/url] your second course savor Fondue Bourguignonne (Beef Fondue). And as dessert indulge yourself with Poires pochees au vin de Bourgogne (Pears poached in Burgundy Wine).

Wine Reviewed La Chablisienne Chablis Les Vieilles Vignes 2003 12.6% about $24.00
Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Steely Intensity. Vieilles Vignes, or Old Vines, yield less fruit but their quality is said to be much higher than that of younger vines. This intense Chardonnay is [url=http://www.dearilievi.it]piumini moncler outlet[/url] consistently excellent with green apple, lemon, and loads of mineral characteristics. It's dry and steely with a long, crisp finish. Serve it with lemon chicken or oysters on the half shell. And now for the review.
My first wine pairing was with a meatless quiche which included sesame seeds, broccoli, mushrooms, red and green [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] peppers, and non-imported cheese. The wine is crisply acidic. I really tasted the lime. This wine [url=http://bbs.ahjzw.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=289919][/url] [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin pas cher[/url] was imbued with that Chablis taste of flint. And yet the wine and food weren't a particularly [url=http://hccweb6.bai.ne.jp/nyanji/cgi-bin/aska.cgi/index.php?name=news&file=article&sid=4512]barbour outlet Information on[/url] good match. Things worked out marginally better with a tomato, cucumber, red onion, and parsley salad.
The next meal involved a baked salmon filet that marinated for 24 hours [url=http://www.dearilievi.it]moncler outlet[/url] in a sesame seed, honey, garlic, soya, and black pepper sauce. The sides were mashed potatoes in bouillon and zucchini in tomato sauce. This combination worked excellently. The wine was lemony and powerful. It was palate cleansing and tasted steely and flinty. I partially ruined things with dessert, fruit-juice candy that flattened the wine a bit. Honestly, in all my readings and discussions, I have never come across the pairing of fruit-juice candy and Burgundy wine. As per my policy, I don't blame the wine for weird food pairings that don't fly.
The final meal consisted of breaded, fried chicken cutlets, potato patties, and caponata, a thick Italian-style commercial eggplant salad including tomatoes and olives. The wine was very refreshing with plenty of lime and acidity, strong and yet subtle. This combination was classic. The wine emerged slightly different [url=http://www.ttcarpets.co.uk]mulberry outlet[/url] with each of the meal's components. Believe or not, [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] it became ethereal when paired with the same fruit-juice candy tasted above.
The first cheese pairing was with an Emmenthaler (Swiss style) cheese that came from Germany. Although the cheese was quite mild, it flattened the wine which no longer came out so nicely acidic. I then tried this Chardonnay with goat cheese from the Poitou-Charentes region of central western France. Even though the cheese generated some ammonia, the pairing was interesting; the wine was round and somewhat thick.
Final verdict. Burgundy wines come with expectations, even more so when they are labeled Old Vines. This is not a wine for daily consumption, not for me anyway. But the salmon filet pairing showed the [url=http://www.diecastlinks.co.uk]hollister uk[/url] heights that it can reach when properly paired. I would buy it once again but carefully watch the accompanying food. And regret, as so often, that it isn't considerably less expensive.
