A Burgundian white for less than $20? Yes, it’s possible! This Chardonnay comes from the warmer Southern end of Burgundy. Despite it being oaked, the wood is not the in-your-face type (thank goodness!) but more of the toasty-yeasty-biscuity type. A melange of ripe pineapples, juicy mangoes, and crisp granny smith apples will envelop every taste bud on your tongue. Firm acidity and lively minerality are rounded out by the soft creamy texture derived from ageing the wines on the lees. Good length. The perfect companion to pan-seared haddock in a rich butter lemon sauce.
