I adore French food and wine - A Maconnais Chardonnay.

If you're attempting to find fine French food and wine, consider the well known Burgundy area in eastern France. Though its reasonably rare, you might even find a deal, and I'm hoping that youll have some fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white wine based mostly on the Aligote grape. Partisans, and they're many claim that Burgundy is truly the number one or number 2 wine-producing area in France, if not in the world.

Well find out if this shortage of disrepute is merited or not. As well as Burgundy Aligot is grown in Bulgaria, a not a very-well known wine producer but one that's occasionally generates bargains. These wines are on occasion a mix of Aligot and Chardonnay. To the best of our information the reviewed wine is pure Aligot and does not come from the Bouzeron area of Burgundy. The castle then went thru varied owners till the French Revolution when it was expropriated and the hamlets name was modified to Montfranc. With the development of the Burgundy Canal its destiny was sealed you might say. Here is some more stories about beaune vineyards. Be certain to see the castles medieval tapestries and its reflection in the canal. If you're searching for fine French food and drink, consider the Mconnais area of the Burgundy area in eastern France. Among Frances eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks 4th in acreage if you include the Beaujolais area, which the general public do despite their substantial differences. Partisans, and they're many claim that Burgundy is truly the no 1 or number 2 wine-producing region in France, if not in the world. The wine reviewed below comes from the Mconnais area of southern Burgundy, whose wine production is nearly ninety percent white, pretty much exclusively Chardonnay. The site contains a horse-breeding center set up by Napoleon using stone from the abbey. Youll also need to see the Muse Ochier, a Romanesque lapidary museum. Do not forget to tour the city of Autun once called Augustodonum, town of Augustus. The subsequent task for this Aligot was to go with bagels, smoked salmon, and 15% cream cheese together with sides of Greek olives some with chili pepper flakes, thinly cut red onions, and an artichoke, garlic, and tomato salsa. The salsa intensified its fruit, but both the olives and fresh blueberries ( no, not together ) appeared to deaden the wine. The 1st cheese pairing was with a mild-tasting Italian Pecorino Fruilano. What do you need for this moderate price? More than what I got here. If I am able to lay my hands on a Bouzeron Aligot Unwell give it a shot.
