Tasting Notes for Domaine Bourillon-Dorléans Vouvray Sauvignon Blanc 2006
by gtv_john
(Domaine Bourillon-Dorléans, a Vouvray, another region, France not on list)
Bright pear and lemon peel nose of heavenly dangerous goodness. In the glass has lovely restrained grapefruit, Meyer lemon custard tastes, also Anjou pear, tad of mineral water flair in this balanced medium body wt. of pear kirsch, to ever so refined soft landing finish. An instant go-to new favorite of class, quality and elegance. So good and seductive luscious, it is seriously dangerous stuff, these whites!
I would serve this wine for:
Always and any-wheres with abandon.
I shared this wine with:
My graciously forgiving Sicilian bride Angelina, several "you can't breathe so beautiful" models that I keep laughing - out of my own self defense so not to keel over from lack of oxygen, a talent acquisition shape-shifter, etc..nice night e the Vouvray was humongous hit!
The nose on this wine reminds me of:
Citrus, gardenia blossoms and lemon.
This wine would pair well with the following foods:
Everything...are models a food group?
I think this wine is priced:
Quarter of the exquisite taste delivered.
If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that:
It is SO seductive, like models, I must keep my distance from it.
