I have been diligently keeping tasting notes for about three months now and I am finding it a most enjoyable distraction. I cannot pretend that there aren't times when I want to crack a bottle and just get stuck in but I have committed to using this blog as a learning experience so I'm soldiering on. This tasting note was taken just after I started and it was interesting to read what I wrote at that time. I would describe my note as somewhat cautious , unlike the wine which knows exactly what it is doing.
The Wine Society £7.95 (tasted 23.i-'09)
13.5% with a synthetic closer. 100% chardonnay white burgundy.
This wine is clear, almost colourless, with a pale lemon yellow tint. Its has a promising clean medium nose full of citrus fruit, especially grapefruit. This is a dry wine with easy acidity levels and no tannin which is not surprising as its never seen any oak. Typical crisp and refreshing white burgundy body which brings through apple and pear flavours. A well structured wine with a nice, if short, length. Jolly good.
