Clos du Bois Calcaire Vineyard Chardonnay 2010

The full-bodied 2010 Calcaire, brilliant silver straw in hue, has intense aromas of apple, pear, lemon zest and tangerine with hints of vanilla and caramelized sugar and well-integrated oak spice. Bright, vibrant flavors of pear, apple and citrus over a core of minerality are layered with touches of brown spice and nuances of cream. This delicious Chardonnay has a rich, silky texture and long finish and is blessed by balanced acidity and structure, which will allow it to develop additional complexity with bottle age.

This rich, full-bodied Chardonnay calls for scrumptiously prepared, equally rich seafood dishes, with buttery, creamy pastas and earthy mushroom-infused food.
