New world. Creamy, slight citrus, lots of marshmallow, coconut, tropical, crème brûlée on the finish big time. Nice.

Well made for its style but not in the league of great white Burgundy.

Marcassin is one of my favorite California Chards. Has fruit but balanced with acid and enough minerality to give it a distinctive character.
