We are fans of Domaine Javillier, having had the Chardonnay offerings,
2014 Domaine Javillier Cuvée Oligocène and
2013 Javillier Bourgogne des Forgets as well as the Pinot noir
2013 Javillier Savigny-Les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Serpentieres Bourgogne.
Their Chardonnay is one that we aspire to emulate. It is a fine balance of fruit, acidity with a touch of oak that lends a rounded mouthfeel to the wine. We had this wine with dinner last night.
Dinner consisted of Asian chicken salad. We were surprised at how well this Chardonnay paired with an Asian meal. Had we known this, I would have taken a photo of the salad, but instead, I offer you the photo from the Fine Cooking site from which I got the
Crunchy Chinese Chicken Salad recipe.
If you are afraid to pair Asian foods with wine, try this Chardonnay with the Crunchy Chicken Salad. Easy short cuts in making this salad include getting a rotisserie chicken and saving the white meat for the salad and getting pre-made wonton chips. My husband liked it so much he put his seal of approval on the salad and said that I could make it for him any time.
