Not too dissimilar to the 2023 which was also favorably reviewed on this site. Medium golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has lots of grapefruit with an ever so slight grassy note and a slight note of vanilla. Full bodied. Light tannins. Nice balance. On the palate, the grapefruit come thru with some lemon notes as well. Refreshing but also has some depth. Long finish. THis drinks well on its own and will work well with many foods. A nice choice with Salmon but also Pasta Primavera. Drink over the next five to seven years.
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.
Morillon is the Austrian word for Chardonnay. This is an affordable Chardonnay that delivers above its price point. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has peaches with slight citrus and a bit of minerality/chalk. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is solid. Flavors of peach with good acidity and minerality. Good finish. This will be better with a bit of food than on its own. Scallops would be a good choice. Drink over the next few years.
