2021 Famille Gueguen Bourgogne Côtes Salines Chardonnay

From: Grand Auxerrois, Burgundy, FranceVarietal: Chardonnay Tasting Notes: Subtle aromas of bright lemon, white flowers, almond, and hints of toast. The wine has a lean mineral entry on the palate, which showcases flavors of crisp pear and lemon zest and a slight honeyed character with plenty of acidity and a gorgeous salinity on the finish. Pairing: If you’re serving this wine as an aperitif, we recommend trying it with gougères (savoury choux pastry bites with cheese) for a fabulous regional pairing. Other riffs on regional pairings include Jambon beurre sandwiches, or even a classic eggs benedict if you want to do a classy breakfast for dinner (see recipe below). As always with Chablisienne wines like this, oysters will play beautifully on this wine’s minerality, acidity, and soft fruit. The same goes for a myriad of fresh PNW seafood dishes, including crab, halibut, and mussels. Eggs BenedictBy Alison Roman About. The Gueguen (gay-gan) family is based in the hamlet of Préhy, just 7
