Domaine Touzot 2004 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Deliciously rich, white Burgundy from a southeast-facing vineyard in the Macon, similar in aspect to the top vineyards of the Cote d'Or ... and at 35 years old (plus), the vines here only produce a small quantity of very concentrated fruit. Barrel-fermentation in new oak barrels has added a layer of rich, creamy vanilla to the powerful, apricot fruit, beautifully balanced by a tang of citrus freshness. The wine has been made by a French winemaker whose experience has led him to South Africa, Greece and Cyprus. This has given the wine an almost New World character. Serve with cheesy choux pastry with a creamy filling, pasta with a luxurious seafood sauce, or rich white meat dishes. Only gently chill.
