Time for something from France.

I’ve generally not been a huge fan of Taittingers N/V, but after a series of Croatian wines, it seems much better. Just goes to the saying, everything’s relative! .

Nice opening nose of peach and stone fruit aromatics. Cantaloupe, apricot, bosc pear through the glass. Love the balance of fruit and acidity. The finish is light but pleasing. — a month ago

Nicely balanced and fresh with sliced apple, pear, melon, papaya, tangerine, and a brush of vanilla from 10 months in barrel (30% new). There’s a salty streak here that I didn’t expect. Not over the top. Entry level single vineyard from Far Niente. — 10 days ago

Lemon gold color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus, sweet floral and complex spice, no MLF. On the palate flavors of ripe melon, pineapple, apricot and honeysuckle notes with lemon zest and biscuit notes, delicate, complex and well balanced, big and full Chardonnay. Long finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and fresh finish. Will age well. Outstanding! While I usually do not decant whites, this one will benefit to breathe a bit! — 2 months ago

Yes, I picked this and yes, it is what I expected. New worldy but enough driving acid to finish strong. — 11 days ago

Ah yes, what I needed after a long week. Crisp and clean like this Chardonnay champagne should be. Hits the mark — a month ago
