Shop Review: The 2009 Bouchaine Bouche de Beurre Chardonnay from their Estate vineyard is a classic crowd pleaser with all the glory of the rich, buttery California Chardonnay but stylishly balanced with brigh tCarneros texture and acidity. It belies the cloying opulence so frequently associated with this style of Chardonnay. Bouche de Buerre pairs superbly with any rich cuisine accented with cream or butter, but also offers sufficient restraint to serve with well-seasoned sauteed shellfish or flavorful-accented roasted poultry.
My Review: Loud and Strong. This is definitely a California Chardonnay. The creamy butter is powerful but there is still wine behind its vanilla facade. The acid structure is there to hold this wine up and the sweetness fades just in time so as to not overwhelm you. The above suggestion of pairing this buttery wine with more butter or cream seems a bit outlandish but a more reserved sauce and definitely flavorful poultry would be spectacular.
