UN CHARDONNAY PUISSANT AU NEZ, MAIS SANS GRANDE ENVERGURE EN BOUCHE
Cher Journal... Un chardonnay puissant au nez, mais sans grande envergure en bouche. C'est un peu comme partir d'un bar avec la plus belle fille, mais qu'une fois à l'extérieur, elle vous mentionne qu'elle aime mieux les femmes. Vous lui dites que vous pouvez être des amis, mais vous ne la rappellerez jamais.

MOT DU PRODUCTEUR...
This classic Carneros Chardonnay was grown primarily on the Schug Estate vineyard, with additional barrels from our grower-partners Ricci, Wildcat, Leveroni, Wood Valley and Iund Vineyards. It was fermented and aged on the lees (sur-lie) in small French oak barrels, with minimal new oak introduced. Malo-lactic fermentation was not induced, allowing the wine to retain its natural acidity and varietal focus. The result is a wine that is both rich and powerful, while refreshing and elegant on the finish. It has a ripe, spicy tropical bouquet with flavors that suggest citrus, pear and spiced apples. Well-balanced acidity gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an excellent wine with food. Try it with cream soups, rich seafood, fowl, veal and pasta dishes.
