This is an inexpensive Chardonnay. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some gun flint with a touch of peach. I suspect it had more fruit when it was younger. On the palate, a bit chalky with slight peach as well. A bit bitter on the finish. This seems past prime and should be consumed soon. It will work better with food, seafood would be a nice choice.
Bichot makes a lot of wine and most of it is reasonably priced and of good quality. This is no exception. Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, slight chalk/minerals, and a slight apple quality. Light bodied. On the palate, this drinks easy. Lemon candy notes with some fresh lemon. Some acidity. A slight bitter note on the finish. This needs to be consumed now. It works well on its own but better with lighter foods. It went well with a cheese pizza.
This is a very nice Chardonnay at a reasonable price. It even says Chardonnay on the label. Light golden in color. The nose is nice. Slightly chalky with flint and slight smoke. Also some lemon. On the palate, this has a nice acidity. Lots of minerality with a bit of lemon fruit. Clean. Nice finish. Worked well with an assortment of cheeses but will work with lighter and medium bodied foods. It should last another five years but won't get much better if at all. Depending on the price where you live, this is a very nice value.
Light gold/green in color. The nose is nice with lemons, slight vanilla, and a bit of grapefruit. On the palate, this is nice but a bit more depth would be nice. Decent acidity. Some lemon and grapefruit. Went well with a vegetarian pasta dish. This cost $70 and that is the biggest thing. Hard to justify that unless one lays it down the cellar. But, with white Burgundies, that raises the risk of premature oxidation. I am not sure what the answer is, but I find myself buying less White Burgundy. That said, if you have this, it should be cellared for at least five more years.
Dampt provides some real values in Chablis. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has gun powder and green apples. Maybe a touch of chalk. Medium bodied. On the palate, nice lemon citrus with a bit of an herbal streak (lemon verbena?). Good finish. This has some depth and complexity but will need some cellaring to really bring that out. Drink over the next eight to twelve years. Drinks nicely on its own and will work with lighter foods or seafood. A nice wine with Lobster.
