Allee Bleue Isabeau Chardonnay 2022

A myriad of flavours welcome you to this enticing wine. Stone fruit, citrus and an underlying hint of oatmeal. On the palate the richness of the partial
malolactic fermentation adds complexity and rounds off the quince, citrus and “smoors” that play around in your mouth.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it would go down like clapping hands with this wine. Decadent seafood dishes, death by Risotto and of course Crème Brûlée.
