The Chardenet Coteau Blanc Vineyard Chardonnay 2012 is an elegant white wine that shows a medley of fruit and spice flavors. The nose shows juicy apricot and tangerine, with accents of sweet jasmine, saffron, crème fraiche, and brown sugar. The palate is smooth and beautifully textured, with flavors of stone fruit, grilled orange, and fresh fennel. The finish lingers with flavors of brioche and oyster shell.

This lovely white wine would pair nicely with fresh seafood, light pasta dishes, or grilled chicken with herbs and citrus.
