For wine dinner 5/8/21 paired with chicken thigh confit and again a surprisingly good match. The Viognier is on the light and acidic side with subdued tropical fruits. The Jemrose of a better example but was just slightly over-powering for the food viz this wine. Another good lesson in how excellent pairing can mask flaws on both sides. In this case Jane’s chicken is superb.

Kind’ve flavorless with a bitter after taste. Not really a fan.

No longer a “Vin de Bourgogne”, now a “Produit de France” this is still a great example of a French Chardonnay. Slightly more mineral than a typical Burgundy, light bodied with peach and melon followed by a crisp, clean, and quick finish that then returns with some grass and citrus.
