Pale lemon in color with a yellow tint.

Nice nose of white flowers, lemons, citrus, minerals, tangerines, sea salt and white pepper.

Medium bodied and crisp with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, sea salt, white pepper and minerals.

Medium finish with limes and bitter almonds.

This is a nice Burgundy white. Nicely balanced and simple.
Enjoyable by itself or with food. Crisp and refreshing, especially with spicy food.

I paired it with fried calamari and spicy banana peppers.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in stainless steel.

13% alcohol by volume.

A 2012 and undoubtably lost a little zip, but the flavors presented are not necessarily muted but mellowed and supple. Lemon curd with warm scones, red apples, and plenty of almond and walnut. Plate shows more acid than nose would suggest and finishes exactly like lemon merengue pie.

Pale lemon in color with a straw tint.

Nice nose of white flowers, lemons, citrus, minerals, tangerines and white pepper.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs, crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with grapefruits, limes, lemons, salt, minerals, herbs, lemongrass, light spices and almonds.

Medium plus in finish with bitter vegetables.

An above average Chardonnay from Burgundy. This Unoaked version is refreshing, crisp and well balanced.

A little bitter on the ending for my taste but enjoyable, nonetheless, with nice, mild complexity.

Clean with lemon. Much preferred over buttery and oaky chards. Nice with our catfish and grouper tonight. June 2023.
