Domaine de Bernier's bright and lively Chardonnay is a wine I like to call "Chablis without the Chablis price tag."
It has that same crisp, mineral-driven character I love about Chablis, but it comes to you at a fraction of the price. Fermented in stainless steel, it is fresh, energetic, and mouthwatering, with notes of zesty lemon, freshly sliced green apple, green pear, citrus zest, and salty minerality.
It's also made by a small family-owned winery. The Couillaud family's vineyards are situated in the Western Loire Valley, just a few minutes from the Atlantic near the mouth of the Loire River. The cooler, maritime climate is ideal for producing Chardonnay with a tense, tactile personality.
The wine is aged on its lees for six months after fermentation, adding a little extra weight and texture without sacrificing its freshness. The result is a pure charmer and one we sell a ton of when it's at its regular price.
You'll be glad you have some in the fridge when you find yourself serving seafood or roast chicken... or when you get home from work and just want a delicious glass of white wine.
