Chef Burlion recommends
This Chardonnay is subtle enough to play well with food, yet flavorful enough to hold its own with strong cheeses, appetizers, oysters, seafood with light cream sauce, poultry, veal and pork. Marry it to grilled fish in lemon butter and discover a match made in Heaven.

Characteristics
Floral element plays with the exotic peach and pear notes on the nose. Palette shows nuances of apple and Meyer lemon offset by slightly spicy, minerally notes that are mouth watering and refreshing. These impressions are balanced by a wonderful supporting acidity, making the wine an ideal companion to many dishes.
