Producer Information: Chateau de Montpatey is a beautiful Burgundian property first constructed in 1513 and it is situated high above the medieval village of Couches, south west of the Cote de Beaune (courtsey: Berman Wines)

Grape/Varietal composition: 100% Chardonnay

My notes: Acidic, young fresh, very chardonnay. A bit too acidic for me. I prefer the Sauvignon blanc grape so much better.

Bermans tasting notes: This is a medium to full bodied wine that is crisp and clean of the palate but is round and not at all sharp. Flavors of butter, pain grille and hazel nuts abound with good extract and a smooth, silky texture.  There is just a subtle touch of wood and the wine resembles more Meursault than Chablis.

Buy Factor: Good, open anytime Chardonnay.
