Maison Francois Martenot
Deep yellow/gold in the glass.
Spicy, vanilla-caramel on the nose.
Spicy, honey, pear, lots of oak (caramel and vanilla), rather sweet, toast, medium weight, viscous, rich, round in the mouth, good acidity. With time, and perhaps warming, the wine began to reveal some lemon-lime and even a hint of grapefruit (which I find very odd in a Chardonnay).
Sweet, tangy, mouthwatering on the finish.
I found this wine quite disappointing: massively over-oaked, simple and one dimensional.
Purchased at $16.95 (Canadian).
