Tentazioni borgognone da Villa Cavenago (pt. 1)

large turnout excellent organization of restaurateurs and even preview for this new spring wines distributed by Pellegrini. The atmosphere is that of a prestigious wine fair, noble inserted into the frame of the beautiful Villa Cavenago of Trezzo. Last year we tried to pay homage to a selection of Italian and foreign wines, with the result of Prosecco stranded on the northern and southern whites and lose the crème of the tasting, or French wines, those of the rest of the world and distillates.
So this year the decision was firm. "We start from France" . Unless
then just as quickly as a pleasant stop to bow to Bisci in front of his "Senex" 2003, an extraordinary Verdicchio di Matelica who deserves his own post soon. Let's say that was the right cocktail that has led us into the adjacent room of Burgundy. I remain ever more convinced, in fact, the only Italian white that can not deface the French chardonnay with great complexity, elegance and refinement, it is the Verdicchio di Jesi, but above all to Matelica.

And so we enter the realm of the Marches pinot noir and chardonnay. Precisely Meursault in the Cote de Beaune, a land of extraordinary white. A couple of years ago during a trip to Burgundy we were in love with the Chardonnay Bouzereau Michel and his son Jean-Baptiste , whose unique style with great pleasure we found in the wines of Ballot Millot & Fils , we discover to be close relatives of the good Bouzereau. White elegance and refinement, played on a concentration of citrus and mineral complexity and rising purchasing power from the 'villages' to the 1er Cru never concede anything to the obvious, the banal or the tiring. For maximum
Goduria but must leave to go in the other great Meursault appellation of sublime white Burgundy or a Chassagne-Montrachet, which is on the table to taste right there next to taste the Chardonnay Domaine Amiot Guy & Fils .
E da lì un salto indietro per pulire la bocca con grissino e sorso d'acqua per apprezzare anche i grandissimi pinot noir di entrambi i produttori.
Dopo questi primi assaggi eravamo già talmente soddisfatti da essere tentati di trasferirci in zona Champagne ma la vista del Syrah del Rodano e del banco dei bordolesi ci ha convinti a complicarci il cammino.. continua
