Jeff Carrel Morillon Blanc – Rich and Comforting Wine for Mid-Advent
| On the seventh of December, we invite you to slow down a little, to breathe, and to pour something deeply comforting. That’s why Jeff Carrel’s Morillon Blanc is our pick for today. This wine is “rich, fat, with just a hint of oak,” says Jeff himself. You’ll detect ripe fruit — pears, peaches, pineapples — layered with aromas of roasted butter and a whisper of vanilla. The style is reminiscent of a warm white Burgundy, but with a generosity all its own. In the quiet of an early winter evening, this wine feels like a trusted companion. Decant it if you like, then serve with a cheese board (think soft cheeses and nutty bread), or a pâté. Close your eyes, sip slowly, and let its richness wrap around you like a blanket. |
