2011 DOMAINE TALMARD MACON-CHARDONNAY
FRANCE $10.99
In researching this wine, I discovered that a good number of fine-dining restaurants - including The Red Pheasant Inn here in Dennis - feature this selection. And rightly so. It is a good example of a French Chardonnay which is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks; it has no exposure whatsoever to wood, which contributes to its freshness of taste. Domaine Talmard Macon-Chardonnay is a dry white wine, medium-bodied, with a creamy texture, exhibiting aromas and flavors of tropical fruits. The vineyard is located in the most southerly region of Burgundy, France, which produces some of the finest wines in the world, including Montrachet. The amazing thing is how affordable it is!
