Domaine Mercadier Chardonnay 2007 WHITE France

Master winemaker Philippe Mercadier has a display cabinet full of awards including a Gold medal from London's biggest wine show. His family own several famous chateaux in Bordeaux and also for many decades now Domaine Mercadier in the northern part of the Corbieres region. Here Philippe's renowned for luxurious buttery Chardonnay. But to protect local varieties officials have outlawed 100% Chardonnays. Philippe's so obsessive about the quality of his high altitude grapes that he's made one anyway with magnificent results. He accepts having to label his wine as a humble Vin de Pays and in this tough economic climate he's happy to keep the price right down. Deliciously rounded with clean citrus and green apple flavours. Lively and fresh on the finish - it's a stunning partner to rich creamy chicken dishes
