Lots of oak & stone fruit. It's young... I liked it...didn't like it like it.

Vintage 2018. Very light yellow color. Nose: pear, peach, already very subtle smells of butter. In the mouth: nice acidity maybe too intense (probably dispersed in a few hours, a few years), light citrus, yellow apples. A lot of oak (maybe too much for some). A very beautiful wine. Surprising price-quality ratio. Very pleasantly surprised. I am not a big fan of Chardo. This one is surprising, I recommend.

Vendange 2018. Couleur jaune très légère. Au nez : poire, pêche, déjà des odeurs très subtiles de beurre. En bouche : belle acidité peut-être trop intense (se dispersa sans doute dans quelques heures, quelques années), des agrumes légers, pommes jaunes. Beaucoup de chêne (peut-être trop pour certains). Un très beau vin. Rapport qualité-prix surprenant.  Très agréablement surpris. Je ne suis pas un grand fan de Chardo. Celui-ci est surprenant, je recommande.
