I recently made a roasted chicken with roasted vegetables?carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, Brussels sprouts, and turnips, made very simple with olive oil, salt and pepper. All delicious in these winter months. I am also a big fan of white Burgundy for this time of year, so out came a great bottle of 2006 Chablis from William Fevre, one of the best producers in Chablis. With seven years on it now, I thought this would be an ideal time to drink it. Boy, was I right!
The was absolutely delightful and what a great complement to the roasted vegetables and chicken. This Chablis had a nice salinity and citrus note that cut through the richness of the meal. At the same time, luscious aromas and flavors of white peach, yellow plum and honeyed apple came across with an impeccable balance of acidity. This wine is drinking perfectly right now, as I suppose most of the 2006s should be. I highly recommend pulling one from your cellar, or you can still get some here.
These 2006s aren't going anywhere for quite awhile either. These beauties are drinking great now and will continue to for another 6-10 years! I suggest getting some now before they're all gone, and don't be afraid to pull out some nice white Burgundy this winter.
