WineDiva's Review

Elegant, complex, buttery. Expect spiced nuts and buttered toast, yellow apples and grilled lemon aromas with vanilla and whiffs of matchstick. It front-loads sweet golden fruit that is supported by toasty, nutty and buttery flavours. Woven, postured and complex--an elegant and fresh Chardy.

Recommended Pairings
Seafood/Shellfish, White Meat Chicken/Pork, French Food, Creamy Dishes
