Domaine St Louis Fronton Chardonnay

$15.00

Varietal Birthplace Year
Chardonnay Bordeaux AOC 2009
This Chardonnay has a lovely straw yellow color with green highlights and enjoys aromas of ripe white fruits with notes of green melon, pineapple and banana. You might even notice a hint of green olive! Favors of white nectarine and white peach carry beautifully onto the palate with notions of green almonds and pine. This wine has good weight, a creamy texture and a long finish.
Cantaloupe, green melon, lime, lemongrass and green olives.
Chateau Saint Louis is located in the South of France between Toulouse and Montauban in the AOC of Fronton between the Tarn and the Garonne rivers. King Louis XIII and his Prime Minister Cardinal Richelieu held extensive wine tastings here during the siege of Montauban in 1621. Ali Mahmoudi acquired the estate in 1991, converted to biodynamic farming, and was the first vintner to introduce Chardonnay into a region principally known for red wines. It was a bold move that has paid off.
This wine is good with foie gras, grilled fish and salads. Sole is an ideal partner, and my Sole Amandine à la Turlock is suitable for a main course or as a first course in smaller portions. For something simple, pour a glass with some Roquefort cheese on a cracker.
Roquefort, or a similar style cheese, is mentioned in literature as far back as AD 79, when Pliny the Elder remarked upon its rich flavor. In 1411 Charles VI granted a monopoly for the ripening of the cheese to the people of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon as they had been doing for centuries.
