2010 Chateau Millet Domaine de L'Enclos

Taste: 4/5                                                                                                                             Value: 5/5                                                                                                                              Price: $10                                                                                                                               Cotes de Gascogne produced by Chateau Millet.   A blend of Colombard and Ugni Blanc, it is very very saugvignon blanc esque.  The two varieties are vinified separately before being blended.  A dry white wine, intense on the nose with lots of freshness.  Dominated by floral notes and fruits like acacia and white peach with a crisp citrus finish.                                 Serve as an aperitif or with lighter fare.  Perfect with starters, goat cheese, fish and shellfish.  I cooked with and served with chicken picatta and was delighted.
