Last Night's Bottle - Ducourt 2010 Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc

A few random thoughts.

I'm having a hard time figuring out if Pinterest is going to be next social media giant?  As of right now, I don't really get it.  Next thought...

I was also contemplating if I should rename this portion of the blog "Today's Bottle" because I am strongly considering drinking while @ work.  Not really, but wouldn't that be fun for me?  Anyway...

As part of the bottle notes I needed to catch up on, I recently bought a bottle of Ducourt 2010 Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc.  I realize that I don't write about white wine, but it would seem that my tastes are seasonal as I am sure are most of yours.  Considering that winter ended 3 months early this year, now is as good a time as any to start with the spring/summer series of whites.

The Ducourt was something different for me.  I can't say I have ever had it before and because I don't often find myself drinking the "french stuff", today was a good opportunity for me to spread my wings.  The wine is soft and airy.  A subtle green hue with citrus & floral notes give way to a splash of melon & lingering grapefruit that is delicate & elegant at the same time.  Perfect.summer.wine.

This Ducourt slides right in as a new favorite of mine.  Perfect for either dinner or a sunset, it will not disappoint. As it stands, I have continued the streak of not paying more than $15 for a bottle in as long as I can remember so fear not, this will not drain your wallet.  Unless you go back the next time and decide to instead buy a case.  If so, save me a bottle.

Until next time...

Cheers,
ES

  1. Yes ! Wonderful wines at Ducourt's family, I know they have lots of chateaus in "Entre deux Mers" so it's sometimes hard to see if it's a Ducourt or not, but if you look closely to each of their label, you should find the name and the crocodile they have for a logo ;-)

    enjoy!
