Which wine to drink with: Crunchy caramel chocolate log

My favorite wine for this recipe: Alsace Riesling late harvest 2009 Grape variety Riesling
Temperature between 08 ° and 10 °

Partnership with the estate of Pierre Reinhart in Orschwihr in the Haut Rhin

A thought to all those connected from abroad in love with French cuisine and these wines, here is a great opportunity for you to buy a quality wine, to accompany my recipe for Bûche chocolate with crispy caramel. I selected this 2009 Alsace Riesling late harvest wine from the Pierre Reinhart estate in Orschwihr in the 68, after tasting it, I loved it, its yellow color with a fine nose. But quite frankly, what I liked the most about this first contact was the warmth of the welcome from Pierre Reinhart. Before having tasted these great wines, I already knew that we would do a great job, thank you Pierre for all your delicacy and see you soon.

Riesling 2009 Late harvest
Made only from Riesling varieties, the grapes are only picked when they are over-ripe. The development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot of the grape) initiates a phenomenon of evaporation, this reinforces the concentration of aromas and sugar. In the mouth we find the same characteristics of lemons, passion fruits, acacia blossom honey and a lot of length in the mouth: a true masterpiece.
