Opened about an hour before service. No formal notes. The 1996 Château La Rame “Réserve du Château” pours a deep burnished copper/gold color with medium+ viscosity. Layers of delicious dried apricots, candied lemon, honeysuckle, nuts, with perfectly balanced acid. This is a rich and decadent dessert wine that reminds me of Sauternes (as it should considering it's 100% old-vine Sémillion affected by botrytis) and and a lovely pairing with what was an artistic, deconstructed take on a lemon meringue pie. Will probably live forever. — 10 months ago

Derek Brammer's Staff Selection, Fall 2014: “Often customers will ask me to recommend a full-bodied white wine Bouchard Pere & Fils was founded in 1731, and has aquired many prominent estates over the years. Today, Bouchard is the largest owner of premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Cote d'Or, Burgundy's most famous area, and is one of the largest and most well known producers in France. This 100% Chardonnay is blended from some of their own vineyards and some from negociants in the region. Delicate aromas of apple, peach and pear arise from the glass with lovely floral touches to enhance the palate. Full-bodied, crisp, and clean, it strikes a nice balance between the minerality of the terrior and the acidity of the fruit. A perfect wine for fish, seafood and fowl dishes. Especially wonderful at Thanksgiving.”
