Date of Tasting: Monday, January 30, 2012
Variety: Chardonnay (100%)
Region: Languedoc
Country: France
Year: 2008
Price: $3.95
Shop Preview: Rather than coming from the heart of Burgundy, this wine comes from the new vineyards in the south eastern part of France called the Languedoc. There Christian found a wine that fits his very critical requirements. The Ed Hardy 2008 Chardonnay seems to explode with the flavors and aromas of green apples and pears with a suggestion of citrus on the background. There is also a very pleasant under flavor of oak, which when combined with a near perfect acid level results in a wine of classical dimensions.
My Review: Not the best Chardonnay I have ever tasted, but for the price, you really can't beat it. The wine started off a bit bitter with a taste of fruit on the side. The tropical flavors tend to get a little less enjoyable as the wine finishes, ending with an additional bitter and "cheap" taste.
