Tasting notes
The 2019 Hubert De Boüard Chardonnay is solid stuff, offering impressive citrus blossom, honeyed pineapple, and toasted spice notes in a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, refreshing style. As with everything from this team, it's impeccably made, and I suspect it will be a good value.

The 2019 Chardonnay is the most complete of the whites in this range from Hubert de Boüard. All the elements are impeccably balanced here. This is very nicely done. Light tropical accents run through a core of citrus and floral nuances.
Full bottle 1,390 g. Hand-picked grapes vinified in Allier barrels . These bottles are way too heavy. Smells like brown-butter sauce, singed vanilla, pears and lemon. Bright fruit, smart oak. But the finish is ugly. I'm tasting a (good) wine (well) made for a market and a price point, and not a wine made with love. (TC)
The 2019 Chardonnay (Hubert de Boüard) has a pleasant vanilla, coconut scented bouquet. The palate is fresh on the entry with nicely integrated oak, seductive tropical passion fruit and guava notes with a bright finish. Delicious and very, very quaffable!
