Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with pineapple, very slight oak and a bit of minerality. Medium bodied. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, an interesting combination of some pineapple and some green apples. It works. There is a nice depth despite its youth. Long, persistent finish. This is lovely on its own, but seems very food friendly. Sea food of course, but also a nice wine with say Hummus.
Very nice value in Chablis. Light gold in color with some hay hues, clear and bright. The nose is great with lemons, slight Granny Smith apples, and a bit of crushed shells. Medium bodied. Nice texture. Good balance. On the palate, this is nice. Nothing profound but good wine that is drinking well. Flavors of green apples with slight lemons and minerality. Long finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. A nice choice for grilled Halibut. Drink over the next five years.
This was interesting. In a room with 7 blind tasters with plenty of experience, no one even guessed Chardonnay much less Burgundy. Personally, I was stumped. It was good, but I had no idea what it might be. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has a nice minerality with a touch of quince. A very nice mouthfeel, slightly oily. On the palate, mostly minerals. Good finish. It drinks well on its own and would be better with some seafood or hearty vegetarian dishes. Drink over the next five years or so.
Of course, this is 100% Chardonnay. Pale golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is lovely with apples, slight grapefruit and white flowers. Medium bodied. Sinewy texture. On the palate, this is lean but powerful with apples, grapefruit and a bit of lemon on the finish. Nice enough on its own but really needs food to shine. It worked with vegetarian sushi but for those who eat seafood, regular sushi would be nice. Drink over the next ten years.
A really nice value in French Chardonnay. Gold/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has red apples, good minerality and a touch of spice. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, no hard edges. Very smooth with apples and minerals. Long finish. Nice on its own, but better with food. Pepper crusted Tuna steaks would be nice. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
