This area produces 3 times as much white wine as the remainder of Burgundy, but isn't especially famous. But do visit Autuns Portes ( Archways ) and the Thtre Romain, once the biggest arena in Gaul ( Roman France ) with room for fifteen thousand spectators. Talking about Napoleon, he and his bro studied at the local army academy, where at age 9 the future Emperor first learned French. Before reviewing the Burgundy wine and imported cheeses that we were sufficiently fortunate to purchase at a locally grown wine store and a local Italian food store, here are one or two proposals of what to eat with native wines when touring this gorgeous area. Burgundy red wines are produced in an area of France stretching from Dijon south to Beaujolais. Sometimes , these burgundy w ines are fashioned to be enjoyed in their youth, barely chilled to bring out their berry-like personality.
Beaujolais should be fruity but dry, with a base astringency that helps complement a wonderful selection of foods. The absolute best vineyard sites are labeled Grand Cru. Other vineyard sites of phenomenal ( though not Grand Cru ) quality are labeled Premier Cru. A Burgundy wine label will always list the most precise location the grapes come from, and usually nothing else. This Chardonnay was fermented in stainless-steel tanks and never saw the interior of an oak barrel. My first meal was a Poulet Chasseur ( Chicken Cacciatore ) that I made with substantial care. The wine was really fragile and yet not feeble. It was composed of chicken legs in a soy, onion, and garlic sauce. The wine was appley and floral and went very well with the meal, but appeared a bit wasted. Beaune vineyards. The 1st pairing was with a so ft, buttery north Italian Bel Paese cows milk cheese. This cheese appeared to increase the wines flavour. What are you expecting from a Bordeaux? BTW, the labels term En Paradis wasn't the slightest bit justified.
