An exciting Chardonnay from southern France. Subtle fruit (pear, quince) without wood or plushness. Chardonnay is not a traditional grape in southern France, but it is widely cultivated today.The acidity is relatively mild, but the wine does not come across as ponderous or heavy. Very well balanced. Medium body. Great chardonnay at a very fair price. From Anne de Joyeuse in Languedoc. The organic farming practices and southern terroir result in a distinctive Chardonnay that differs from classic northern French styles.
