The 2009 Chardonnay is pale gold in color with aromas of creme brulee accented with hints of pear, white peach and apricot. The palate is met with rich, tropical fruit flavors and a subtle touch of citrus. While creamy and full bodied, this chardonnay exhibits a balance and elegance which are characteristic of Clos Du Val's style. The result is a wine that complements food and culminates in a long, crisp finish.
