'03 "Les Charmes"

[Innkeeper]

2003 Cave de Lugny, Macon Lugny, Chardonnay, "Les Charmes" ($9 NH Liquor Store). This was the year when many French wines were ruined by the heat. Somehow or other the folks in charge of this wine kept things under control. The result is in Emirl's terms, "kicked up a notch", but not too much! The alcohol is up .5% to 13%. There is more usual on the nose and upfront, and a delight across the palate. We have been drinking it with anything that will go with an SW. It is absolutely the best Chardonnay under $10 you can buy.

This is just a quick vist. Hope to back again soon.
