  For the money, this is the best Chardonnay on earth. Rich, round, well balanced with bright acidity and scents of pears and golden delicious apples. i could drink this all day!

  We’ve been drinking this for several years. Feel free to read my notes on previous vintages. This bottle has pretty much been like all the others. Apricot, peach, and melon on the nose which are all confirmed on the palate. Creamy, almondy finish. If you like a ripe Chardonnay with some body and without much oak influence, this is a great value. The Viognier lees makes it rather unusual but in a good way. There’s a bitter note on the finish which I don’t remember in past years so I rated a touch lower.

  Impulse Purchase @ Costco. (Recommended by their wine steward)
  13.0% abv - $10
  
  Served @ 12c/55f with Baked Salmon, Basmati Rice, Broccoli and green Salad.
  
  Clear, pale yellow in the glass. Floral Nose of White Peach and Apricot. Full-bodied, dry, with just a hint of fruity sweetness. Nice round mouth-feel. Lightly-oaked, Ample acidity for a nice, tart, lingering finish.
  Usually served around 10c/50f, serving a little warmer (12c/55f) brings the floral and fruity characteristics to the fore.
  
  A very pleasant Chardonnay from the Côtes Catalanes IGP (Languedoc-Roussillon).
  Spouse Endorsed; I'll get more!

  2 bottles, 2 different scores. First bottle I'd rate at 90. Very Chablis like, think a petit wine in a ripe year. Second bottle was closer to rating of 85. Nothing wrong with it but tasted like an inexpensive generic white wine.
