This voluptuous Californian Chardonnay sets the benchmark for all others. Gorgeous liquid opulence! Balanced, beautiful and robust. Butterscotch and green apple with hints of white peach on the nose. Creamy, plush, layered and luxurious. Pair this classic Californian Chardonnay with more of itself or Cornish hen.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled pork chops, stuffed chicken breast, beef bourguignon, cheese..

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Rich gold colour, an elegant balance of tree fruit, sweet spices, delicate oak, and nutty characteristics. Gorgeous wine! Full bodied, it's a perfect balance of rich fruit, nuttiness, light toast, and elegance! Enjoy with seared scallops and rich risotto. Tasted November 2015. 94 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
This unfiltered and unfined Californian white wine may have a natural but harmless sediment. The 2013 vintage of the Chardonnay Les Noisetiers is Kistler's appellation-designated Chardonnay and the only one that gets broad distribution in liquor stores due to the volume of production. - Community Wine Reviews
