2019 -Vintage- from IGP Des Cotes De La Charite in the Loire -yellow /gold color ripe yellow apple, vanilla , white flowers, lees , seems like neutral barrels or perhaps stainless steel resting on the lees - I believe 100% Chardonnay

Amazing value for this lovely Chardonnay from the loire, well crafted rich, round, smooth, supple and delicious, notes of apple, tropical fruit and citrus, medium round lightly oily body, fresh acidity and a smooth finish. A lovely surprise with a value price tag for the quality. My score 88, drink to 2020

Chardonnay is expressed here on these varietal qualities:, lively and mineral character, notes of lemony citrus, sour apples, butter, with a fine light smoke. Lively, supple, vegetable mouth (tilleul). Fine and digestible texture. The finale is energised by pretty salty notes.

Le Chardonnay s’exprime ici sur ces qualités variétales, caractère vif et minéral, notes d’agrumes citronnées, pommes acidulée, beurre, sertie d’un fin léger fumé. Bouche vive, souple, végétale (tilleul). Texture fine et digeste. La finale se prolonge sur de belles notes salines.
