Reviews and Ratings

The term “Dijon clone” in the name here is a reference to the strain of Chardonnay used, which has its roots in Dijon. Lovely aromas of crisp apple, creamy vanilla and toasty oak are embroidered with hints of tropical fruit. Rich, full bodied, with a creamy mouthfeel and a dry, balanced finish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
