Nice chardonnay. Bouquet of baked apples, mango, tangerines, butterscotch candies, and cinnamon spices. Oak it's there, but it's not overdone -shows delicacy. Would make a lovely pairing for bisque.

Beautifully delineated, Domaine Drouhin's Arthur Chardonnay is pure and fresh, despite 2014 being a ripe year. Layers of crisp d'Anjou pear and apple, white flowers, white peach, granulated honey. It's equally delicate and finely wrought on the palate, with French oak lending playing a supporting role to an ethereal vein of minerality shines through this wine's limpid, sparkling and pale yellow countenance. There is a wisp of a suggestion of sweetness, like lemon cake, right at the core. Sample

This was a nice wine but it had a bit of a weak finish.

I think it becomes easy to get spoiled when something is so consistently good for so long. This is the wine that opened my mind to the greatness of Chardonnay way back in the day and it still delivers that beautiful fruit/acid/texture balance with every vintage.
