  May 21, 2023 - Impulse Purchase @ Costco
  12.5% abv - $13 (after $5 discount)
  100% Unoaked Chardonnay
  
  Served @ 10c/50f with Roast Turkey Breast.
  
  Oh Boy, I thought. Here's my chance to stock-up on a good "Old World" Unoaked Chardonnay from a renown vintner at at discount. But both spouse and I were disappointed in the presentation.
  
  Light yellow in the glass. Pleasant nose of Lemon Flowers and citrus. Light bodied, with citrus and minerality, slight bitterness on the palate. Acidic; Tart and crisp but we both thought quite bland. Long finish. Overall; rather undistinguished.
  
  We did an informal taste comparison with a 2021 Myka Cellars, Central Coast, Chardonnay, lightly-oaked that we had opened (90-91 Points; $11 @ Costco). Perhaps it was the light oak, but we both found the Myka, while not as Tart, fuller-bodied and more flavorful. Were it a choice between the Domaine Les Chenevières or the Myka Cellars, I'd buy more of the Myka Cellars.
