Chardonnay
Burgundy, France

$19.95 (299867)

This engaging, well structured, lighter chardonnay has a very pretty, fresh, ripe nose of yellow apple skin, butternut squash and fresh herbs. Its medium weight, quite smooth and fleshy with a sense of warmth and freshness. Oak ageing is subtly handled. I like the structure. Excellent length. Don’t over chill, and enjoy over the next two years. Score: 89 (David Lawrason, www.WineAlign.com, Jan 2013)
