This is what I "should"have had last night. With a roast chicken the light bodied wine just merged with the juiciness of the chicken. Plenty of acid to cut the richness and enough fruit to peek through as dinner progressed.
This is probably a B to B+ sort of wine, I wasn't wowed, but I was happy.
err... either Bouchard Aîné, OR Bouchard Père et Fils, surely, wWith the former being a subsidiaryof the huge Boisset stable of wines of which Serena says "The lower reaches of the Boisset empire lack exciterment", and the latter being a serious negociant and owner.

excusé moi, It is the former but, per the bottle, Bouchard Aîné & Fils, Cuvee Signature Volnay, Appleation Volnay Controlée "Les Grands Poisots", Harvested September 23rd, 2004, Bottled December 8th, 200, 218 Cases made,
Never the less, a nice wine at home with the chicken and not reaching for any stars.
Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the clarification. On Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:56:32 -0500, Joseph Coulter
Rien à excuser... I was curious, that's all because a Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay should be better than a "nice bottle to drink at home", so I was concerned if they were letting standards slide.
