Viniou Reviews
This Monthélie Blanc 2005 from the Bourgogne region, specifically La Côte de Beaune, offers a refined expression typical of its origin. The wine showcases a "demi-sec" style from the Cuvée Domaine Delétang, characterised by its subtle sweetness and complexity. The year 2005 is renowned for its exceptional harvest, providing a balance of acidity and richness, while the terroir includes limestone-rich soils that impart minerality and structure. Bourgogne's continental climate with its distinct seasonal changes contributes to the wine's nuanced character. Though the specific castle is not identified, this region is known for producing elegant and sophisticated wines, reflecting its rich history and meticulous winemaking traditions.
For pairing, this Monthélie Blanc would complement creamy dishes such as risotto with mushrooms or a poultry dish with a light cream sauce. The wine's slight sweetness and minerality make it an excellent companion for seafood, particularly scallops or prawns. To honour its origins, consider pairing with regional dishes like a cheese platter featuring Brie or Comté, which would further enhance the wine's layered flavours and bring out its subtle notes.
When it comes to tasting, serving this wine at a temperature of 10-12°C is ideal, allowing its aromas to fully develop. A brief carafage of about 15 to 30 minutes will help the wine breathe and open up. Begin with a visual inspection to admire its golden hues, followed by a deep inhalation to savour its aromatic complexity, which may include floral and stone fruit notes. On the palate, anticipate a harmonious blend of sweetness and minerality, with a lingering finish that showcases its quality and character.
