Natalie's Score: 87/100

Château des Charmes St. David's Bench Vineyard 2016 Chardonnay is a dry, medium-bodied Burgundy-style Chardonnay with vibrant acidity for food. This is a beauty for roast chicken or turkey with its green apple, ripe pear, vanilla, butterscotch and toasty oak flavours creamy on the palate. This Chardonnay is barrel fermented and aged sur lie for one year.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, turkey tetrazzini, roast lemon duck.

Delightful Duck Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of golden apple and pear, with hints of honey, caramel and a touch of oak. Medium+ body, with a creamy texture, and ripe, rich fruit notes. Enjoy with creamy seafood pasta.

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.

The Financial Times of London

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.
