broad attractive white with ample tropical fruit and ripe apple flavours.

 

lovely ripe melon and apple characters mingle with touches of pear and honey. bright, zingy and well balanced, it is ideal with meaty fish or on its own.

 

a crisp, unwooded style of chardonnay with lively lemony fruit character and a refreshing pear and apple finish.

 

bright, zesty chardonnay from the deep south of france. well balanced with hints of ripe apple, melons and citrus fruit.

 

the cool casablanca valley allows winds from the nearby ocean to create superb growing conditions for white grapes, particularly sauv blanc and elegant chardonnay. this example has been barrel fermented to give a richer, toastier style but with vibrantly zesty citrus fruit still providing the backbone.

 

a top notch example from a respected grower. defaix chablis displays minerally, flinty notes on the nose with touches of green apple. the palate is elegant, dry and characterised by crisp, citrus flavours overlaid with smoky notes. long, complex finish.

 

don’t be confused with lesser bourgogne chardonnay’s, this shares more in common with wines much more regal! delicate citrus, mineral and toast character with a well balanced palate of ripe apple and pear.

 

this small domaine make fine examples of the best that southern burgundy has to offer. a rich, generous wine with ripe citrus fruits and hints of the tropical. crisp acidity balances and buttery, toasty oak completes the picture.
