NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
With its vibrant golden hue, this Chardonnay offers a complex bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak.On the palate, it is rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of acidity and a velvety texture. The flavors of ripe pear, citrus, and a touch of butterscotch unfold gracefully, leading to a long and satisfying finish. Great balance of acidity, fruit intesity and concentration, with long finish dedicated to roasted hazelnuts and citrus peel.

ORIGINS
Winery: Maison Noir
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
