This Chardonnay is reminiscent of a Meursault. Classic hints of lemon, lemon curd, and baking spice with a hint of vanilla. Aged in 30% new French barriques there is a perfectly balanced textural tone throughout the wine, with plenty of mineral cut to back it up.
When pairing with food, consider the characteristics of your wine first. No-brainer pairing options include seafood, salads, and white meat. Chardonnay, with its vast versatility, is everyone’s best friend.
