Chardonnay from
France – Other
17/20Bright straw-yellow colour with light golden hues, a little
lighter on the rim. The nose is softly
full and gently concentrated with aromas of white and yellow stonefruits, some
nutty lees elements and chalky minerals.
The aromatics are up-front with good volume and depth. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate
possesses moderately sweet and rich flavours of yellow stonefruits and citrus
fruit entwined with ripe herb and nutty lees elements. The mouthfeel is fresh and bright and the
wine flows with good energy along a fine-textured, light line, leading to a
refreshing, lingering stonefruited finish.
This is a fresh, moderately sweet and rich fruited Chardonnay with
stonefruit and nutty lees elements on a soft-textured palate. Serve with most white meat dishes over the
next 3 years. Chardonnay fruit from the
Puisserguier vineyards in Saint Chinian, Languedoc, fermented to 12.5% alc., a
portion of the wine aged on lees and 20% aged 3 months in French oak. 17.0/20
