Bouchard Finlayson Sans Barrique Chardonnay is lively and refreshing, with great definition of seamless floral and citrus fruit notes. Crisp and fine on the palate with the slightest hint of nutty spice. This vineyard’s trademark finesse on obvious display. This wine shows great promise and will reward further cellaring.
Ageing potential: Drink now until 2026.
Serving Suggestion: Another versatile offering, equally suitable with appetisers or main course. Works really well with creamy mushroom pastries, goats’ cheese or a smooth vegetable soup. Simply grilled or poached fish with butter and parsley. Moules marinières.
Alcohol: 12.84% ABV

string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
