Closson Chase The Brock Chardonnay Niagara River VQA 2014

Bright gold color with green hue. Mineral nose with pineapple and mapple water, then pear, apples and spices. The oak does show, but with some air did blended nicely with the fruit. Flavorful and deep, this feels so young! Flavors are accurate to what was on the nose with a narrow but long finish. Different from the International and typical Chardonnay, but true to what I’ve tasted yet coming from Ontario. A good product offered here and very well priced and won’t be afraid of being cellared for a few years. Very good (89)9)

Made of 100% Chardonnay from rented vines in Niagara. Got no information about its ageing, but have seen oak. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available in SAQ stores for 23,10$ (Code SAQ : 12855516)
