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.
It was interesting to try this side by side with the Vaudesir. While neither one could be called blowsy or showy, this has more presence and weight. Light golden/green in color, clear and bright. The nose is classic Chablis. Green apples, chalky minerality, slight gunpowder and slight white flowers. Full bodied. Great balance. Firm acidity. On the palate, green apples with underlying minerality and just a hint of flint/gunpowder. Long finish. This is nice on its own but needs food to really shine. Shell fish would be ideal but it went nicely with Japanese Noodles as well. This
