Wine notes: 2008 Bourgogne Blanc
This is our first of the sommelier (@KLWines) chosen wine, a chardonnay from Domain Roulot in Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy.
For the first sip, the overwhelming taste is crisp acidity and aroma is that of lemon. Quickly enough, the stone and mineral notes kick in. After a few sips, the dominant notes are of a dry, crisp wine with stone and mineral notes and stays so until the last sip. I suspect that the notes of citrus help with the sense of crispness till the end. We could not perceive crustacean notes or pit bitterness or nuttiness in this wine (see KLW notes for 2007 batch).
