WTN: Loire Chardonnay

[James Roscoe]

For Rahsaan, a chardonnay tasted at MacArthur's in DC, Saturday, November1, 2008.
2007 Moulin d'Argent Chardonnay 'Classis" from the Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France (western Loire).According to the advertising, this is vinified under mololactic fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless tanks. It was mostly lemons and limes on my palate. There were definitely some flavors of creaminess underneath (white peach and bananas? according to the advertising). It had a nice clean finish. We bought two bottles at $9.99. I would easily buy it again at its regular price of $11.99. It was a very nice chardonnay and I am generally not a chardonnay drinker.

For Rahsaan..

Thanks!

Sounds like good value.

They had two Chinons and a Muscadet which were also very good! Are you near the store (MacArthurs)? You should make a point of getting there emails.

I don't get their emails and it's not the most convenient for me to stop in (that said I have been there in person 3 times in the past 6 weeks), but I definitely order from them and have been exploring their list. Good stuff.
