Révélation Vin de Pays d'Oc Chardonnay 2012

Mellon and Jolly Ranchers combine with a fairly natural French oak to make this a great budget choice if you like California Chardonnays. Do not expect a White Bordeaux - this is about as French as Guy Fieri... — 12 years ago

Mer Soleil

Silver Unoaked Santa Lucia Highlands Monterey Co. Chardonnay 2012

Though it didn't have the usual buttery oakiness I've come to expect from Mer Soleil Chardonnay, I was thrilled to taste such rich fruitiness. Silver comes bottled in a "cement" bottle to remind us that it was aged in small concrete tanks from France. This allows, like oak, a trace of oxygen to seep in which helps to enhance the flavor. Very bright fresh fruit characters. It was opened at our home in Bensalem during a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with 2 other couples. — 13 years ago
