JORDAN VILLAGE CHARDONNAY 2021 VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LE CLOS JORDANNE |
Here are my first impressions upon opening. Bright light straw colour. Intense, fairly spicy, toasty, ripe, lemon-apple meringue nose with some minerally, honeysuckle, ripe pear and faint tropical notes. Dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, nicely structured,intense, ripe, lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, bright, fairly toasty finish. Try with poultry, ham and/or lamb. This ready-to-drink 100% Chardonnay was fermented and aged in 228L French barrels for about 22 months and has 13.5% alcohol and 2.2 g/L residual sugar with a somwhat low 5.5 g/L total acidity and lot number L230261 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Quite ready-to-drink, it has a screwcap closure and 1,200 cases were produced. Be forewarned that as this 2021 remains open, the toasty-oaky notes become very prominent along with the tropical fruit component something which might appeal to some traditional California Chard fans. |
