This is a generous chardonnay from L’Artesin and the IGP Pays d’Oc. The label I expect will have appeal due to its simplicity of message – it’s French and it’s chardonnay. In the glass, the 2020 vintage has aromas of butterscotch, Fuji red apples and apple skins. The palate is dry, full bodied and etched by some refreshing acidity and has a short finish. It will appeal to those seeking a well priced chardonnay alternative from the south of France. This approachable chardonnay will suit current drinking. Rating: Good (★★★, 87 points). Website: NA.
