TN: value white Burg- Pernot
For meatless Monday Betsy made an excellent mushroom soup, along with
some leftover lentils and a nice salad. Wine was the 2005 Pernot
Bourgogne Blanc, last of a case I think. Showing quite well- ripe pear
fruit laced with mineral notes and buoyed by good acidity. Balanced,
rich, crisp. This was a great buy at $14, sad to see go. B+/B
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.*
