Palate Press Wine of the Week: 2009 Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenère 2010 Montalbera Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato L’Accento
2009 Drouhin Vaudon Chablis
White flowers, apple, and pear show on the nose. Good Clean mineral and steel make a tight background for tart apple and lemon. Apple comes out as the wine warms. Acids are very bright. This is very clean, but not tremendously complex or long-lasting. Drink with simple broiled flounder. Recommended (88). DH
