With pasta in fresh tomato sauce with chicken:

2000 A. et P. de Villaine, Bourgogne Cote Chalonnaise “La Digoine”:

very lightly colored; 12.5% alcohol; floating sediment (a little cheese cloth took care of it)/

a bright cherry, rhubarb nose with a slight scent of fresh fish (not off-putting but very unusual and very similar to the sea-air scents I associate with Muscadet)/

light bodied but still concentrated and intense, becomes more black fruit on the palate with air and some mineral-salty flavors, crisp and almost crunchy acidity, good depth, excellent balance/

medium length, crisp finish.

An unusual nose but a delicious wine. It brought out the sweetness of the tomatoes in the red sauce and was texturally a good match. In league with the 2000, Lafarge, Bourgogne; elegant and flavorful.

Thanks John.

Best, Jim

Jim,

Was this a red wine or a white wine? Cherries and Muscadet cornfused me.
