Wonderful green apple aroma, clean and crisp, a bit of apple and pear fruit, no oak, and a little minerality. This wine pairs well with an aperitif, a grilled lobster, a fish with sauce, a chicken curry and a hard cheese.
Bernier Les Frères Couillaud Description
This Chardonnay is produced by the Couillaud Family on schist soils a few minutes from the Atlantic near the mouth of the Loire River, where the maritime climate is ideal for producing whites that are refreshing and bright. It is aged on lees until bottling to add weight and texture. Saveur magazine wrote about a previous vintage: “This value-priced chardonnay tastes crisp and bright. It comes from the western Loire Valley, it is made in a fresh, unoaked style. Though unconventional, it’s delicious, with fruit flavors that echo pears and apples, and an enticing hint of minerality beneath the surface.”
