We've been caught again with storing a bottle longer than we should have. We bought this entry's bottle a year or so ago and, finally, thought that it'd go with tonight's dinner. It might have - if we'd had the dinner a year or two ago.
66. 2005 Domaine Cauhape Chant des Vignes (Jurancon Sec AOC - France)
I was quite looking forward to this wine. The Jurancon area is not one that I'm familiar with at all - being found in the French Basques area of the Pyrenees in South West France. Boo had actually spent some time in the area in a "past life" and he thoroughly enjoyed the region.
The area is known for a dry and a sweet wine and this was the dry. It uses the gros manseng varietal - another grape that I couldn't tell you anything about beforehand. I'm not sure that I could tell you much now either since there was next to nothing fruity or pleasant about the wine. It was just old.
Too bad.
