Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHÂTEAU DES CHARMES |
The now-mature 2014 - not the 2015 - was presented at the press preview in the LCBO lab. This assessment was done from a bottle purchased at Vintages. Bright medium to medium deep straw colour. Rather spicy, mature, intense, lemony, tropical fruit cocktail nose with perhaps an over-abundance of cedary notes. Has 13.7% alcohol and 4 residual sugar. Ready to drink. |

TASTING NOTE: The vines that grew this Chardonnay were planted 40 years ago by Paul Bosc, back when French wine grapes were almost unheard of in Niagara. It's a rich, creamy Chard showing spice, toast and sweet cedar along with ripe citrus and pineapple, and the finish is luxuriously long. Savour with lobster rolls. (Vintages panel, March 2018) |
