Domaine des Herbauges Chardonnay 2006 WHITE France

Over the past few decades Luc Choblet has racked up an impressive list of accolades from countless Golds through to Loire Winemaker of the Year. This 2006 vintage of Domaine des Herbauges is no exception - gaining 3 medals already this year it far outshines its modest price. He says it's the unusually perfect growing climate of the Lac de Grandlieu that makes him one of the leading growers in the Loire Valley. 2006 was even more amazing than usual ... a warm early Atlantic Spring and a long hot Summer brought extra ripeness to Luc's vines. Combine this with the constant care and attention passed down through the generations and you have a truly classic vintage for the Choblet estate. "Pale gold with ripe fragrant aromas - an enticing hint of apricot beautifully balanced with zesty citrus flavours for a long refreshing finish. This wonderfully fruity Chardonnay combines an exhilarating Chablis-like quality with a touch of Loire crispness. Delightful on its own great with fish pasta and Summer dishes."
