Description:
2003 - Pontchartrain Cuvée
Viognier (94.6%) Blanc Du Bois 5.4% Released November 27, 2004. Our traditional “Creole” white wine, produced in a rich, full bodied, complex style, based primarily on the Viognier grape with a touch of Blanc Du Bois added. Think Galatoire’s (Creole French) cuisine when contemplating this wine. Extensive lees contact and barrel fermentation and aging in American oak of approximately 1/2 of the cuvée are key elements in the style presented here. A graceful, elegant, yet powerful wine that easily stands alone but is also ready to take on really rich food. Tasting notes: Appearance: Light yellow gold color. Aroma: Tropical fruit, perfume-like floral mixed with layers of vanilla, caramel and wood and hints of pear and peach. Taste: Rich, mouth filling tastes that were anticipated by and in harmony with the aromas. There is a decidedly feminine aspect to this wine which is marked by extremely fine textures. The wine has excellent overall balance and a medium long finish.
