Very nice showing for the Chardonnay from France. Gold/green in color, clear and bright. The nose is lovely with slate, pears, "steely" lemon rind, and a touch of toasted oak. Slightly oily texture. Full bodied. On the palate, a lemon hard candy (not sweet) note with some pear notes. A hint of mint on the finish. This is drinking well but no hurry. It is delicious on its own but will work well with many foods. Baked Trout would be a good choice as would Pasta Primavera. Drink over the next ten to twelve years.
