WTN: Lucien Lardy Beaujolais Blanc 2012

by Hoke » Mon May 12, 2014 11:45 am

Inter Beaujolais sponsored a superb 'tasting tour' of the west coast, visiting three cities to show off pairings of Beaujolais with thre different cuisines. In Portland, seafood; in LA, Chinese; in San Diego, Mexican.

Here's one of the pairings from Portland, at Salty's on the Columbia.

Lobster Trio with Beaujolais Blanc


Our palates were whetted for more delicious pairings, so the waitstaff placed the Lobster Trio course in front of us, accompanied by a soft and silky-textured Domain Lucien Lardy Beaujolais Villages Blanc 2012, a 100% Chardonnay with bright tropical aromas in a fruit-forward style. Lobster, with its intense, rich sweet meat, can be a tricky match with wine---and especially so when there are three contrasting preparations of lobster on the plate--- but this combination worked quite well, nicely abetted by the very light whisper of oak echoing behind the fruit.
