2005 Domaine Joseph Drouhin - Rully

We ordered this wine with a light dinner of appetizers at La Pinox, the restaurant in the Renaissance Paris Vendome Hotel. Caren had oysters and a king crab roll (Vietnamese spring roll style) and I had escargot followed by seared ahi tuna. This wine is a luminous, golden green color, with a toasty, fruity nose, and an elegant body with floral and cinnamon notes. At the southern part of the Côte d'Or, a few miles South of Santenay, lie the vineyards of Rully. We are headed there in a few days and will visit the winery.
