  Fab chardonnay. Certainly at its peak (or just past) with great use of oak protecting the fruit to allow it to mature. Subtle tropical notes, lovely smooth creaminess in the body with the oak carrying a nice finish.

  Delightful Chardonnay. Good use of oak bringing classic oak, buttery and tropical elements. Everything you would want from a ripe Chardonnay. Still lively and fresh although certainly mature. Won't go for much longer so enjoy now.

  French oak, mostly neutral. Nose of earthy vanilla, stinky wood? Interesting earth note continues on the palette with classic Chard notes. Butter, creamy apple, light oak which has some earth to it. Interesting for the QPR.

  No note taken at time, but this was an enjoyable Chardonnay, true to type, clean and fresh with no heaviness, and deft use of oak.

  Great and original chardonnay. Contrary to Bourgogne whites, this one should be served colder. Notes de bananes, fruits riches. Beau nez intense, couleur jaune or. Une bouche longue et excellent dans un vrai verre de Chardonnay.
