Dourthe

La Grande Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Nothing better than inexpensive white Bordeaux with some age, the youthful acidity just fades away. The Dourthe (Thienot) is one of our perennial favorites.

Nose is heavily on lemon zest, freshly cut grass, cold apricot and steely minerals.
Palate has muted lemon, hint of tangerine, lemon grass and lightly sour green grapes.

Delicious!

Brut Champagne Blend 2005

This is a very complex Champagne with earthy, nutty flavors and a hint of stone fruit. I'm looking forward to enjoying another evening trying to parse out its rich flavors. — 10 years ago
