The Musque clone of Chardonnay (Dijon 809) makes up the bulk of this tasty bottling, and it shows bright baked apple balanced by light herbs and stony minerality in both aroma and flavor profiles, leading to a finish where the acidity cleanses the palate without removing a well-integrated taste impression. A cocktail style sipper, or try it with softly flavored fish dishes.
