France

Although the perception of Bordeaux is dominated by it's classy and long-lived red wines, its whites have long been appreciated for the combination of lively acidity, and rich, white fruit flavors. This wine from Domaine Boudon opens with notes of white flowers, fresh honeydew, and stone, while the palate opens full and lush, with the same notes on the nose, and a surprising caramel element leading to a crisp, lingering finish.

A wine with this much personality goes best with either intensely flavored food, or their opposite - think fragrant thai green curries, spicy chile verdes, or delicately-poached fish in cream sauce.
