4 /5

Der Vergelegen Chardonnay funkelt in einem einladenden Zitronengelb im Glas und das Bouquet entfaltet vielschichtige Noten von tropischen Früchten, Pfirsich und Zitrusaromen, die von mineralischen Nuancen umspielt werden. Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Weißwein von seiner eleganten und raffinierten Seite und punktet mit seinem vollen Körper und den zarten Eichennoten, die er seinem zehn Monate langen Ausbau im Fass zu verdanken hat. Dank seiner Komplexität ist der Wein ideal zu Gerichten mit Geflügel, Fisch oder Salat, aber auch pur bietet der Vergelegen Chardonnay tolle Genussmomente.

A white that pairs well with moussaka. With snobby guys.
Its intense colour attracted me. The Vergelegen Chardonnay shows exotic floral hints of jasmine. The grape had presence.

Notes of white fruits such as apples. The taste of this Vergelegen is woody.
I would recommend it.
