Louis Jadot Macon-Villages 2009 and Clos du Bois Pinot Noir 2008

Friday's tasting was on two wines.  Both were enjoyed by customers and myself.  If you were to pick up a bottle of either one, or both, you won't be disappointed. 

Louis Jadot Macon-Villages 2007 is from France and 100% Chardonnay grape, stainless steel fermented.  Now I'm not a fan of French wines, nor do I enjoy Chardonnay's that are fermented in stainless steel (one day a customer told me she thought stainless steel fermented Chardonnay's were like licking a refrigerator), BUT this Louis Jadot was very nice and quite enjoyable. It had a light floral aroma.  The flavor was crisp with a hint of lemon, not fruity.  I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this and enjoy with chicken, fish, or cheese. 

Winemaker's Notes:  Dry and easy to drink, lively and charming, this is a fruity wine with a floral scent and a hint of lemon.

The second wine for the tasting was Clos du Bois 2008 Pinot Noir from California's North Coast.   A very light versatile red that is enjoyable with a variety of foods. The flavor on my palate was raspberries and spice with light tannins. 

Winemaker's Notes:  Ripe plum and raspberry aromas are harmonized with hints of spice and vanilla from oak aging.

ENJOY!
