GOLD MEDAL: Concours de Bordeaux 90 POINTS: Wine Enthusiast
"From old vines, this wine has fine concentration and rich black fruits. Its richness is balanced by juicy black currant freshness and acidity. From a chateau based on the plain towards the Dordogne river has produced a wine that will is ready now." - Wine Enthusiast
Lovely aromas of black ripe fruits, with also hints of spice and cigar box in the background. Smooth, charming, and elegant attack with notes of black berries and black fruits enhanced by a light touch of vanilla.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
