My first experience is the 2004 Savaterre Chardonnay. Its colour is already quite golden and developed, while it was very pale when I bought the wine. The fruit is not the feature of this wine, but there are traces of apricot, peach, and apple.
The wine has a good mouthfeel and length, but where is the taste? There is a lot of oak and some minerality leading to a somewhat acidic finish. Overall, a bit disappointing. The structure is holding up, but I would have expected a more graceful development. A Giaconda it is not.
Score: 92/-
