2005 Domaine de la Motte Chablis Cuvée Vieilles Vignes
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
One of the problems with old world wines are the lack of photos and good websites. Anyways, the bottle in question is a 2005 Domaine de la Motte Chablis Cuvée Vieilles Vignes. This is a Chardonnay from the Burgundy region in France and one that many people will enjoy. While its not the over oaked chards from Australia, its not a simple and sweet wine either. Its the best of both worlds, a great nose with hints of tropical fruit and and wood. Its not some amazing Burgundian wine that should be held for years or rationed, its just a $13 bottle from Costco. I do recommend it tho, if you are in need of a chard for your cellar but want something other than the usuals give this a try.
Plus you can always look pretentious among your friends by pulling out a bottle with a name longer than most and one that can't be rattled off at will.
