Chardonnay de Chardonnay - Cave de Lugny 2007 - $14



David: A white Burgundy from the vineyards around the town named Chardonnay. This is the Maconnaise appellation of Burgundy, around Macon. Like most burgundian chardonnays, this is unoaked. Color is straw. Nose is weak as is common with unoaked chards. Acidity is good. Apples and citrus flavors are evident with minerals. Finish is long with tingling acidity, somewhat bitter. Over all, quite nice. The Wine Bible says only that wines from Chardonnay are "passable at best". So maybe White Burgundy gets a lot better than this but I found it enjoyable. This was quite a bit better near room temperature than cold especially on the second day after a night in the fridge.
Score 4.0/5

Jessica: Crisp, mild fruits, balanced. Pale straw in color. Medium nose with strong finish. Good depth.
Score: 4.0/5
