Winemaker Notes
Nose: Notes of lemon curd, almond meal and honeydew melon complement well integrated spicy oak nuances.
Palate: The palate is fresh and lively balancing a creamy mouthfeel with lovely lemon-lime acidity. Melon, kumquat, white peach and fig characters combine with the subtle use of oak to make a wine of great complexity that finishes taught and clean.
Food pairings: Ideally suited to chicken, salad and seafood.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
