VILLARD CHARDONNAY GRAND VIN 750ML

WHY WE LIKE IT - A very serious Chardonnay for an incredible price. Yes, a higher price point than you typically see for a Chilean white, but it compares to $40 plus chardonnay from any other locale. TASTING NOTES - Displays ripe stone fruits in the mid-palate, long and expressive finish with citrus and a touch of white pepper. Excellent to drink now, but it will continue to benefit from further bottle aging. PRODUCTION NOTES - AGEING 100% French oak. 45% in barrels of 228, 300, 400 lts from New to 4 years old. Barrels aging: 9 Months Foudre : 55 % for 6,5 months (2nd use 5.000 lts French oak conic tank) Coopers: Nadalie and Marsannay PARK PLACE SOMMELIER PAIRING - Pair with grilled/roasted meat with an herbal/savory preparation, fatty fish dishes or pasta/risotto with cheese/cream sauce. Try with Poulet de Provencal.
