Luscious red fruit up front. mild sweetness w/vanilla hints on the middle - wife described it as tasting like it had birthday cake swirled through it. Medium tannins/body, with a super silky finish. Superb affordable choice to accompany pasta carbonara and steak frites with bearnaise sauce! — 8 years ago
What you could almost call the epic rant on the massive rear label of this wine is itself worth the price of admission, which I think was around $17. This stuff is cloudy and funky and unrepentantly "natural" and really pissed off some winos who frequent my facebook feed a few months ago, basically, I guess, because it is one thing to be a natural wine and quite another to run an almost aggressive manifesto of non-interventionism on a queen-sized sheet of a back label. Nothing crisp or clean about this but it is awesome and unique and something like having a picnic in a musty hayloft with someone you aren't married to and whose language you might not even speak. — 10 years ago
16-20 years ago I was shunning Chardonnay, now in retrospect I'm fully convinced I was simply trying to like the wrong stuff. In the late 90's there was a great proliferation of heavily oak influenced CA Chardonnays to choose, they were every place within reach at every shop. Had I started with Chablis, likely my take on the grape would have evolved more respect earlier in my palate development.
Fast forward to recent times, and I simply can't get enough of white Burgundy. The diversity and complexity of flavors, all derived from the growing environment, still astounds.
The bottle at hand is likely my favorite Chardonnay from anywhere, in the sub-$30 price point.
Nose of a distant seashore, lemon skin, lemon squeezed over flint, slate and granite slabs. (I'd really like an oyster right now!)
Palate is lemon-y tropical fruits, limestone dust and citrus pith, so rich with a med-long finish.
Chablis...So Good! If I were to ever write the manifesto of the Chardonnay fan, it may begin with Léchet fruit. — 6 years ago
