A fleshy, unctuous Chardonnay, deep yellow with ripe, ripe yellow plums and golden apples to spoil your senses. Acidity, of course, with a French master like Girardin, remains precisely balanced, persistent with citrus / mineral tones, while an overlay of buttery custard adds texture and is properly integrated. A pure finish of crystallized lemon peel completes the picture and makes one crave whole-roasted striped Bass and an onion gratin.
