Wine Store (Total Wine) Review: Decanter-Vin De France , France (Decanter World Wine Awards )- "Subtle apple, lemon and white blossom with a succulent texture, soft acidity and a bitter twist on the finish.
Wine Folly: The dominant flavors usually found within Chardonnays include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, butter, and chalk. For French Chardonnays, they tend to have a more prominent flavor of quince and starfruit, while other regions have other dominant profiles. Chardonnay is the world's most planted white grape, making it a hugely popular wine in both old world and new world wines. (70-73)
My Review: I really liked this wine! This was my first experience with a Chardonnay, and it didn't disappoint. The main thing I noticed was the citrus notes being super strong, accompanied with a pretty strong acidity. However, it was still a smooth and appealing wine. On the nose, It definitely smells strongly of apples and pears. Super yummy.
