A superb producer from the Vallée de la Marne who specialise in ripe fruited Champagne fermented in stainless steel and then treated to at least 2 years sur lie in bottle prior to disgorgement. This cuvée also benefits from containing over 30% of reserve wine, which in itself represents the best portion of each vintage's grapes.
The all-important Q - what wine should I drink as I cook this, whilst I eat it and open another bottle afterwards!! This one was SIMPLE. Chalk Hill Fiano from McLaren Vale. I picked this one up from winedirect.com.au from my buddy Dan - a half-decent dude who might steer you in the right direction when choosing wine. ;)
This week I am sipping on a Semillon from First Creek in the Hunter Valley. Semillon is a thing of beauty really. Drunk young it's fresh with juicy acidity, apple, pear, and loads of bright citrus notes. Kept in the cellar and it will reward you in 5, 10, and 20 years. As it develops it gets (I think) a little grassy, the acidity is less prominent and notes of honey start to form. Pick this up from winedirect.com.au at a bargain of $22 a bottle and the only thing you will complain about is having not bought 6-12 bottles!
Chardonnay ALL day! No better pairing than a beautiful Chardy to go with the rich flavours from the Chicken & Butterbean Cassoulet.
