2008 Joseph Drouhin Mâcon-Villages
This is a crisp glassful of flinty and lemony goodness. We had it last night with fresh BC Sockeye salmon and it was a delicious pairing. The citrus of the wine really hit it off with the fish.
The nose is like freshly squeezed lemon drizzled on a freshly cracked rock. A sip gives flavors of slight tropical fruit along with the tart lemon flavor that leads out to a crisp and flinty finish that goes on for a minute.
It may not be the most complex wine, but on a warm night with some grilled salmon, it was really nice.
$25 at Kitsilano Wine Cellars here in Vancouver.
