Name: Prochaine
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Languedoc
Country:
Price: $13.99
Critic: The Prochaine is an excellent example of a Chardonnay with some oak influence under $15 that isn't completely over-oaked. An unusual and delectable Chardonnay from the Languedoc region of France. This wine is aged on the lees from a Viognier fermentation with constant stirring (battonage). These Viognier lees give the wine distinct, easy to enjoy, flavors of pineapple, mango, and passion fruit. A favorite at our wine bar as well.
What I taste: The best smelling wine that I had that day. It has a very strong rosy smell. Detected some oak taste, and some sourness, and small sting.
