2020 Florent Rouve Arbois Chardonnay

From: Jura, FranceVarietal: ChardonnayTaste: Fresh aromas of golden apple, pear, white flowers and citrus meet a generous and crisp palate where golden toast flavors are reigned in by a bright, pure, citrus core that lingers on a finish tinged with a saline minerality- a result of the unique soils of the Jura. We should note, Rouve makes his Arbois Chardonnay with Burgundy in mind, thus the resulting wine is pure and strikes a successful balance between tension and finesse- sans oxidation. Pairing: Fantastic alongside so many foods! Jambon et buerre, picnic fare, poached eggs or savory quiche, fried chicken, chicken/veal or mushroom dishes (or frankly, a combination of both) in cream sauce, white fish served poached, baked, or grilled, savory but not spicy shrimp or crab-based dishes, and of course, local cheeses like Comté.
