This is interesting. It’s a Chardonnay from Canada’s Niagara wine region, made by the talented and slightly controversial Francois Morissette of Pearl Morissette. I’ve reviewed his wines in the past here<\/a>. He is a thoughtful winegrower who works quite naturally, and has come unstuck with tasting panels for VQA status where the tasters don’t seem to get what he’s trying to do. Yes, these wines aren’t for everyone, but I really like them. And I love the labels with their elegant fonts and embossed paper.<\/p>\n

Pearl Morissette Cuv\u00e9e Dix-Neuvi\u00e8me Chardonnay 2012 Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara, Canada<\/strong>
\n13.8% alcohol. Slightly lifted nose with lovely ripe apple, pear and peach notes, with fine spiciness and hints of hazelnut. The palate is rich yet fresh with ripe stone fruits and a mineral, spicy core. There’s a richness and ripeness that is more new world than old, but there’s also a nervous tension and an acid core that speaks of the old world. A multidimensional, characterful wine of real appeal. 92\/100<\/p>\n
