Chardonnay and Pork Roast

Last month we hosted 6 dinner parties. We spent time with family, friends ate and drank well and had so much fun!

One of the highlights was a simple roast of pork paired with generic white Burgundy. This may sound ho-hum, but in fact the meal and the pairing are what good food and wine are all about: simple, pure flavours that work together by their similar elements and by their contrasting elements.

We drank a Roux Pere & Fils Les Murelles Chardonnay Bourgogne 2008. This Chardonnay has a fragrant, apple-y nose, beautiful mouth feel, weight and good acidity, and is very well balanced. The seam of acidity cut through the richness of the pork, and the apple flavours from the nose continued onto the palate, matching and enhancing the flavors of the succulent roast.
