Coquelicot Estate Chardonnay 2018 Review
This is a fun little organic $30 bottle of Chardonnay. It sees neutral oak (barrels that have been used a few times) so the perception of wood is there, but not overwhelming. The primary note here is the buttery character. It is abundant, but balanced by very ripe fruit notes and good acidity. And with less than 13% alcohol it won’t weigh you down. It’s a good sunset wine.
