Quite yellow/gold in color. Subtle oak in the aroma, lemon, maybe some peach. Racy on the palate, lemony, no hints of that buttery quality that often doesn’t work for me in new world Chardonnay. Feels focused and intense. I really liked this. With the acidity level this high, it probably has more time but is great now.

The cork was intact and the color a light yellow. The nose showed faint lemon aromas. On the palate, I found the wine tart, acidic with little palate weight. Almost like I was drinking lemon juice!
Note for reader: I bought 6 bottles of this wine in August of 2015. 5 of the 6 the bottles have been consistently as described above. I can only hypothesize that something happened to my bottles that did not show in the cork, ullage or labels. If I had to guess my bottles were exposed to some heat that led to the breakdown of the more refined citrus notes that others have alluded to in their reviews. I only used this vendor once and have yet again decided the quality of what you get is in the reputation of the vendor and the Provence of the bottles that they are selling.

PnP, chilled. A touch of oak on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate showed lots of acidity, substantial oak, but only a modest presence of citrusy lemon. Sorry, but not our style of Chard. Personal feelings aside, I would also support the "drink it now" recommendations.

Big buttery full body (14.2%) medium wine medium gold in color. Typical chardonnay citrus fruit but with smooth tannin. Nice finish.
