Bourgogne Blanc & A Delictable Treat

Lobster. Who doesn't love it? But not just love, who doesn't DROOL over it? So why not take one of the finest foods in the world and AMERICANIZE it by shoving the delicious meat into a roll. Sounds irresistible to us-- which is why this week we are giving you an EXCELLENT Lobster Roll with Lemon Vinaigrette and Garlic Butter recipe. If you aren't in the mood for bread, the recipe doubles as a salad option for the ingredients as well. So now that you've made your flavor blasting lobster treat, you need a nice, crisp WHITE wine to wash it all down. We have chosen to pair the Lobster Rolls with one of our feature wines this week, the 2009 Viré-Clessé "La Verchère" Bourgogne Blanc. Brothers Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret adhere to one simple philosophy: "Exceptional grapes make exceptional wine." As such, they plough their organic vineyards, they use no weed killers or systemic chemicals on their 25 to 65 year old vines, and they limit their yields by natural methods such as de-budding. Their aim is to mature healthy grapes that yield highly concentrated juice. The 2009 Viré-Clessé "La Verchère" is a true expression of White Burgundy. Citrus and minerality join forces with beautiful fruit flavors to make a truly harmonized bottle of wine. This is perfect with any seafood-- but for such a classic, elegant, and powerful bottle it needs a counterpart just as fit: Lobster!
