Herzog Chardonnay Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France
Winery: Herzog Year: 2005 Type: White Country: France Grape Variety: Chardonnay Note: Alcohol: 12.5% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 6/13/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A light paper color that looks clear and crisp. Surprisingly good legs on the glass.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: Sweet and fruity with tones of butter and vanilla. Delightful and light.
Taste: 8.5 (of 10) Note: Delicate, light and slightly sweet with tropical fruit, vanilla and slight tastes of figs and nuts. A very good light wine that's ideally suited to summer meals. Soft, pleasant and easy to drink. Like most French wines, it's made in a classical style of subdued sweetness and subtle flavors that blend very gently. This is a great wine for a picnic.
Total: 17 (of 20)
Food: I had it with pasta baked with cheese and tomatoes. It would also go well with chicken and light salads. I've been terribly disappointed with a lot of Herzog wines from California, but their French wines are a different story altogether. The traditional French style is a classic for a very good reason. But the odd thing is that so many recent articles talk about how California wines are now surpassing French wines in quality. I haven't seen this at all in kosher wines. The French wines are still, as a class, superior in every variety. And at less than $10 this wine is a terrific bargain. A real value!
