Clean, dry, slightly fruity. Oak hints in the nose. Still drinking very well, an excellent white.

smooth, rich chardonnay with buttery hints of peach, vanilla, and some citrus. Beautiful with lobster!

Compared to the Clone 809: The latter has somewhat more flowery bouquet than standard blend [this one], with a little more acid and oak showing through. Both the Clone 809 and the standard had barrel fermentation with stirred lees, then 17 months in a combination of new and neutral oak. The standard was blended to mute the acidity a bit, successfully, resulting in a bit of lemon chiffon in the standard, versus a slightly less aggressive attack than the Clone …

Nice oaked chardonnay from Chandon. Goes well with chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce. Love it.

It had slight toast, green apple, pear on the nose. It was easy to drink, some acidity. I would purchase again, but still not a favorite. I'm having trouble finding a chardonnay that makes for a nice house wine. They're either too oaky, too buttery, too green apple, sigh...I'll keep looking.

Napa Valley, July 2009; 7/9/2009-7/11/2009 (Napa Valley, CA) : This wine is quite typical of a California chardonnay on the nose with some nice oak, apple scents, and a hint of under-ripe pear. The wine has a nice mouth feel, and the oak is dominant in the flavor profile. There is a nice bright acidity with a hint of lemons and nice red apples. The wine is integrated pretty well, and is enjoyable.

2009 LVMH Tasting at Elway's Cherry Creek (Denver, CO) : So close to its physiological ripeness, but not quite there; the low acidity really holds this back. On the nose, fig paste, quince, some applie pie and orange marmalade. The palate is a fairly well-balanced; a medium body of apples, and some pear tart. This saw 25% malo and 10 months on wood, 30% of which was new. That Carneros acidity I was expecting really could have made the difference …

Rich with layers of oak and baking spice dominating. Full bodied style with poached pear and baked apple flavours. Really forward but doesn't quite have the acidity to stand up. With a strange dish soap element. Drink now-2011. 86 pts.
