What I am drinking now, according to a UK wine columnist:
Bouchard Pète & Fils
Côtes-de-Beaune-Villages 2000
"Again a tight raspberry, cherry and mineral nose. There's a hint of earthiness too. The palate has good fruit, that is quite soft and sweet, with damp, woodlandy undertones and nice balance into a moderately long finish. Very good."
I'm glad it's rated very good, because I picked this up randomly off the DFS shelves without a clue. Well, I do like the light, fruitiness body that's not too tart. The aftertaste is mild but the refreshing aroma lingers lightly in the mouth. It's very unlike drinking beer and smelling like an alcoholic. That's the great thing about wine. And it is especially tantalising when you swirl it around and pick up the sweet scent. Smells like a fresh fruit basket!
Salut!
