Chateau Pilet, Bordeaux Blanc

Pale gold in color, this wine showed muted notes of pear, grass and minerals on the nose. The mouth feel Was more fuller bodied than expected and brought a slight tart element. The finish was short with defined grassy and mineral notes. Purchased for $8US/glass at Harrys Seafood in Wilmington, DE, this is a pretty neutral wine by itself but it did improve with my crab timbale appetizer.

A business lunch (Restaurant La Provence *, Driebergen, NL) : Aromatic, ripe but fresh, rounded, both vegetal and tropical but neither to excess, nice tension, good length. A lovely white Bordeaux.

Silky mouthfeel, pears, some tropical elements, graphite, bitter finish, better with air. Decent value wine
