LES GRENADIERS CHARDONNAY
Screw Cap
Un-oaked Chardonnay seems to be thriving under the reemergence of this fabulous grape. This example is crisp, elegant and exceptionally good.

Tasting notes:
This Chardonnay is ripe and round with creamy, peach fruit and spicy, vanilla notes. There is good acdidity, balancing the weightier fruits, with a lingering touch of lemon peel on the finish. Very pretty throughout.
About the producer:
Alignan du Vent is one of the most impressive cooperative wineries in the Côtes de Thongue. Their wines perfectly demonstrate Languedoc Roussillon's drive towards higher quality and a more international style over recent years.
Food match:
Lovely Chardonnay deserves lovely company and not much else. If the company is lacking, make up for it with fish, shellfish or white meat. If you want to say "stuff the world!" have this with a big plate of langoustines and buttered french bread.
