Champ Perrier Bourgogne Chardonnay

Another day, another bottle of wine tainted by poor storage in Kuching. Sigh. It wasn't exactly gone though, but I'm certain it should not have tasted like an oxidative-style Chenin. Good acid and structure, plus it worked well with our steak sandwich.

joined a new 'wine club' that's supposed to send me surprise 'authentic' (not mass produced) wines that are 'for me'.
i started 🙈 tasting (my wife covered the label for me).

this was a cliche Bourgogne white. but a well made one. i half guessed it was bourgogne. but wasn't sure this is such an easy right guess. my other option was an oaked sa chenin blanc.

firm but mellow oak-ness, citrus and hints of stone fruit (apple and peach).

full body.
high acidity.

long 🎯

not my style but well made wine.

my wife supposedly didn't like it, but the bottle was empty before dinner was served. we halfed it very easily.

Tight when first opened but it opened with some time and air. Dry and minerally with some stone fruits. A nice touch of acidity in the finish. Excellent aperitif.
