2008 Le Petit Clos Chardonnay

Winemaker's Notes: Refined and distinguished, our 2009 Le Petit Clos Chardonnay offers an elaborate bouquet of fresh pear, juicy ripe peach and Golden Delicious apple layered with jasmine blossom, sweet caramel and soft vanilla. An intricately woven palate of yellow grapefruit, Meyer lemon marmalade and green fig interlaced with creamy crème
brûlée and ground nutmeg carries on long into a clean finish nuanced with hints of flinty minerality and cinnamon toast.

Pairing: The sheer beauty of this wine makes it a wonderful companion to a wide variety of fare, from seafood offerings, like smoked trout with crème fraîche or a Dungeness crab crêpe with beurre blanc. Also, try this bottling with a vegetarian preparation, such as a cauliflower potage with roasted apples and chanterelles. Simply elegant, Le Petit Clos also makes a fabulous aperitif.
