  (BLANC Terres Dorees Beaujolais) Weekend Blanc Dear Friends, This is a bit unusual for a weekend offer but I had this wine for a third time last night and it makes a lasting impression normally reserved for something far more costly. An example that speaks for itself - it's a crystalline and complex wine that I could drink every night and have no shame in serving to my most curmudgeonly know-it-all collector friends. When I invite them to dinner, I'm humbled to receive their good tidings in the form of 1979 Montrachet (or the "ooh and ahh" equivalent) but I'm just as excited to reciprocate with something like this. In the vinous hierarchy, certain examples are not about their monetary value or rarity, rather they are about the intrinsic value and intellectual stimulation they provide regardless of price - this wine speaks to that mantra in spades. I think it's safe to say, this is one of the world's top wines for what it is: VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEDNED - ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price 2008 Domaine des Terres Dorees (Jean-Paul Brun) Beaujolais Blanc (Chardonnay) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg3121

  (Terres Dorees Beaujolais Blanc) #3; COLOR-golden; NOSE-heavy peach; creamy butter action; some wood action; very white flower; PALATE-no oak and very sea shell-like; lighter than the nose indicated; a little thin for me (reminds me more of Sauvignon Blanc); easy drinking, but a little hollow on the mid-palate; a little citrus lemon peel action; solid, but lacks some complexity; not bad for the price; DS-91; GV-86+
