I pull out a mushroom risotto I made last night and open a bottle of Clos Roche Blanche L'Arpent Rouge 2007. Maybe not such a great match but this is what I have and they are both good.
The color of the wine is light light like a pinkish blueish red rose when the sun isn't quite all the way up, when it is still too dark and most of the colors aren't quite colors but tinted greys. Translucent dusky rose raspberries and refreshing. An almost and alternating transparent cotton patterned dress. The fruits and herbs dangle, caught in shifting patterns.
The nose is a rose filled with raspberries as you are picking them, some a little past, a little dried and concentrated by the sun. And it sounds strange but a whiff of dried orange rind. And it's on the palate too!
But there is more more in there. I 'd love to drink it with some lovely chalky white chevre, no not completely fresh, something maybe with the fatty edging its way into the chalkiness, no bread. Just the cheese.
