Well, there it is…five stars. And for a white wine no less.
I bought this several years ago in France and it has sat in the wine cooler ever since, waiting for a perfect pairing. We teamed it up with Jen’s chicken piccata and it couldn’t have been a better match. The wine’s citrus attack paired perfectly with the lemon zest of the sauce, and the acidity was just right to cut through the saltiness of the capers in the dish. Even by itself, the wine was smooth and delicious, a perfect and refreshing accompaniment to a hot summer day.
