My Review: While I tend to not like chardonnays, this one was surprising pleasant. Maybe it's not that I don't like Chardonnays, but that I don't like New World Chardonnays? At any rate, on the nose this wine displayed an overwhelming floral aroma. It smelled as though I was walking through a field full of flowers, and breathing in their scent with fresh, clean, crisp air. On the palate this wine had a lot of acidity but somehow still felt...clean. It tasted of flowers and honeydew melon. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
Winery Review: "Made from 100% Chardonnay. Sustainable agriculture: very low use of chemicals. Their philosophy is to produce a wine in the traditional style of Mâcon, with minimal intervention and not use of Oak. The soils is made of Clay and Limestone (Argilo-Calcaire) and the parcels are located right next to Viré Clessé Appelatio. A light golden hue, floral aromas. Intense, clean and fresh on the palate. Citrus notes, bold acidity. Excellent match to seafood with butter or cream sauces or rich blue cheeses."
