A High-Volume French Chardonnay

Wine Reviewed
Piat d’Or Chardonnay 12 % alcohol about $9

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: This Chardonnay has aromas of citrus, apple, and pear, and is fresh with fruity flavors. Serving Suggestion: This well-balanced and fruit-forward Chardonnay is best served as an aperitif or to complement grilled fish or roast chicken.” And now for my review.


At the first sips this wine was sweet and fruity with some acidity. Then I nibbled on Japanese rice crackers some of which contained peanuts. Now the wine was rounder. When it faced sweet crackers its sweetness wine blended well with the crackers’ sweetness. The first meal consisted of boxed pancakes made from spinach, potatoes, wheat, onions, and eggs. This Chardonnay tasted of pears and displayed refreshing acidity. For dessert I enjoyed blueberry-topped cheesecake. In response the wine was light and not very expressive.
