  Les Jamelles Chardonnay 2012 - Code SAQ : 11133781 - $14.25 after rebate $12.11
  Wow. This is your classic buttery chardonnay. Pale straw. Wonderful nose of butter and caramel. Smooth, round, buttery/oily mouth feel. Flavours again of caramel, light toasted oak. Just enough acid to bite a bit at the end. Long, smooth finish. 7/7 liked this wine and 4/7 called this their favourite Chardonnay of the night while recognizing that it is the classic oily/buttery style. 90+
  
  From the night the wines to run out and buy are:
  Hungaria Grande Cuvée Brut
  Poças Coroa d'Ouro 2008
  And then 1 or both of Les Jamelles Chardonnay 2012 (buttery, oak), Errazuriz Estate Chardonnay 2013 (citrus, mineral).
  
  Ok were Wyndham Estate Bin 222 Chardonnay 2013, Segura Viudas Cava Reserva Brut, Bodega Castano Monastrell 2013 and Duque de Viseu 2011.
  
  Not to our taste: Beauvignac Picpoul de Pinet 2013
  
  Avoid: Fleur Du Cap Chardonnay 2013, C'est la Vie Pinot Noir / Syrah 2013.

  Light golden. Oak, apple and pomelo on the nose. Clear oak in the mouth with long after taste. Would work extremely well with seafood in a rich sauce. Wish I had more bottles.
