Winemaker Christian Roguenant Notes
With French Chablis as its role model, our 2008
Chardonnay continues in our traditional style of crisp
clean fresh flavors true to the grape variety. Just a hint of
malolactic and just a hint of oak add additional layers and
depth. Pineapple and citrus peel are right there in the
wine’s aromatics, with lemony pear fruit on the palate, and
a brisk cleansing minerality on the finish.
Crustaceans and shellfish would complement this wine.
Also try with pan-seared fish filets in butter sauce; grilled
or roasted fish with fruit salsas; spicy chicken curry…
