Roasted Mahimahi with Citrus Vinaigrette
In this flavorful main course, a combination of lemon and lime zest adds tang to simply roasted fish fillets. A vinaigrette using the juice from the lemon makes a sprightly sauce to pour over the cooked fish. Complementary side dishes include roasted red potatoes or sautéed zucchini.

Additional Wine Information

Story
Separating the tiny Burgundian villages of Puligny and Chassagne is the low hill of Montrachet. The stony, limestone-studded soils here became so famous for yielding extraordinary white wines that each village appended the Montrachet name to that of its own wine district (called a commune in Burgundy), the better to capitalize on its prestige. Of the two communes, Puligny-Montrachet is the smaller, known for Chardonnays with a steely, minerally core and extraordinary longevity. With less than three square miles of land to cultivate, the annual production is tiny, and the combination of scarcity and quality makes its wines perhaps the most highly sought-after whites in the world. Within the appellation, the best sites carry the premier cru designation. Of these 26 vineyards, Les Truffières lies high up on the Montrachet hill. As its name suggests, the site was once a source of prized truffles. Family owned and run for ten generations, Louis Latour is a legendary Burgundy producer.
Sense

Savor
This wine offers a kaleidoscopic mouthful of citrus, cream and wet stone notes, with a finish hinting of mushrooms and smoke.
Serve
Serve chilled: refrigerate the bottle for 30 minutes before serving.
Serving Instructions
The flavors in this refined Chardonnay suggest a classic pairing with mushrooms. Fresh button mushrooms, dried or fresh porcini and, for a splurge, truffles, will make a fantastic complement to the wine’s structure and flavors. For an easy, elegant first course or brunch dish, try the Latour Les Truffires with poached eggs on brioche, accented with truffle salt or a drizzle of truffle oil. Alternatively, a broad array of mildly flavored poultry, veal, fish and shellfish dishes will suit this white. Keep seasonings fairly simple—fresh herbs, a creamy sauce and toasted nuts, for example, make great choices. Crab cakes, flaky white fish in beurre blanc, veal or chicken scallopini and other mild dishes that offer richness but are not aggressively flavored will work perfectly. We recommend pairings like SautŽed Scallops with Lemon Beurre Blanc or Risotto with Mushrooms; find the recipes at williams-sonoma.com.
