Joseph Drouhin
100% Chardonnay
Aging: steel and oak barrels
13% abv
$40.00 at the Bank Restaurant
Beaune, France
Appearance: light golden wheat
Aroma: fresh fruit, pear, apple, tart apple
Flavors: the taste really follows the nose. There is a floral or grassy note swirling around. I also get a hint of oak on the taste and on the aftertaste.
Along with that tart apple I’ll say there is a touch of red grapefruit.
Mouthfeel: good acidic structure with a dry yet refreshing finish – very nice on this 85 degree day here in Grindstone City Michigan.
My Strength Rating: 4/4.5 - very nice medium bodied Chardonnay.
A very agreeable Chardonnay and if it retails for around 20 bucks I would buy it.
Paired well with the Pork Saigon dish that I just enjoyed at the Bank Restaurant in Port Austin Michigan.
