Pernot Belicard, Bourgogne Blanc (Burgundy, France) 2016

 Created in 1937, “Bourgogne Blanc” is Burgundy’s general appellation for still white wines that are not covered under locale-specific appellations.  The predominant grape variety included in the Bourgogne Blanc appellation is Chardonnay, with Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris the only other white grapes entitled to use the appellation.  Pernot Belicard’s Bourgogne Blanc underscores freshness and complexity.  It shows particularly well with medium-intense foods such as jollof rice, poultry, and white fish.  Try it with classic sole meunière for example.
