  I am not a big fan of Chardonnay in general and this bottle was 6 years old when I opened it - was expecting a disappointment and ready to flush it down the sink. Big surprise - I liked it a lot - deep yellow color, fruits still there, and an aftertaste with hint of burned almonds. Louis Latour did a great job here and I will get some more recent years to enjoy. Still one bottle 2006 left, I won't wait too long as it probably won't last another year being enjoyable.

  Opened for cooking, tasted for fun. Good cheap large party wine. Refreshing sweet chardonnay with just enough tartness to keep it fresh.

  Served at the Metropolitan Club at a dinner celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University Medical Center. A good basic chardonnay which was better than I expect at a large dinner event. Nose was subdued with a hint of citrus. The palate was a mix of butter, chardonnay grape, moderate acidity with a bit of slate minerals, and a surprising light tangerine flavor in the background with a bit of vanilla. Winesearcher shows that this wine is available in the $7 to $9 range at a lot of places and it is a good wine at that price. Much better than the nondescript CDR they were serving as a red wine which deserved about a 79.

  Not bad for a little French Chard. (D 6, F 6; Cent., MSW)
