NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Chardonnay epitomizes elegance with aromas of toasty vanilla bean and poached Anjou pear.Creamy vanilla oak frames flavors of pear and citrus, culminating in a fruit-forward finish. Versatile in the kitchen, it pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes. Enjoy it alongside coconut green curry chicken, goat cheese and beet salad, filet of sole in tarragon buttercream, or pan-seared scallops with button mushroom risotto. Whether complementing bold flavors or enhancing delicate dishes, this Chardonnay is a favorite for its balanced complexity and food-friendly nature.
