Fairly deep straw yellow in appearance.The bouquet is harmonious, releasing notes of peach and banana, appealingly complemented by rich floral nuances. The attack is immediately alluring, velvet smooth, and the wine
expands steadily on the palate, assisted by a judicious, tangy acidity. It concludes with a long-lingering finish, laden with well-defined fruit aromas.
On the palate the first impression is of a seductive suppleness; the wine then expands nicely, enlivened by a crisp, judicious acidity and concludes with a lingering finish generously marked by fruity, clean-edged aromas. Marked fragrances of ripe fruit, such as banana and peach, which harmonize appealingly with complex floral notes. A fairly deep straw-yellow in appearance.

The aim at Terres Dorées is to let the varied terroirs express themselves fully. In the early 1990s, Jean-Paul Brun planted 3 hectares of Chardonnay on limestone soil. He has since expanded the production of his well known and sought-after Beaujolais Blanc by contracting grapes from a small number of nearby vignerons.
The clay-limestone soil that the Chardonnay grows on is perfect for the grape. The climate, which is a little warmer than the Côte d'Or enables Jean-Paul to produce a rich wine with lots of character. It is bottled completely unoaked. When young, the wine has a very fruity bouquet that becomes more honeyed as the wine matures.]]>

Antique Vines Zinfandel is a blend of two "Antique Vine" vineyards?one on Atlas
Peak in Napa Valley, the other in Amador County located in the Sierra Foothills.
The term "antique" is characterized by excellence, appeal and importance.
For us the name "Antique Vines" reflects our elevated esteem and reverence for old
vineyards. The name demonstrates the endurance and quality of fruit the
vines produce.
This Zinfandel opens with aromas of mature fruit and sandalwood which lead to
ripe berry flavors sweetened with creamy vanilla nuances. This wine is big, rich,
dense, and nicely balanced.]]>
Granite terraces and gravelly alluvial plains of the northern Rhône Valley. Viognier sourced from 20-year-old vines just south of Condrieu, and Roussanne from 30-year-old vines near the appellation of St. Joseph
The Viognier offers elegance and aromatic complexity, while the Roussanne brings structure to the wine structure to the wine. Exotic flavors of mangos and apricots are perfectly balanced by a nice acidity. A wine to drink just slightly chilled in order to let the aromas of peaches and honey fully develop.]]>
"Smooth and silky, this is generous with its pear, lemon curd and floral aromas and flavors, coursing gently through the long, expressive finish. Drink until 2011." -Wine Spectator]]>
The taster is immediately struck by the bright aromatics of this wine. Dominated by aromas of limes, citrus blossom and intensified with notes of gooseberry and lychee, this is a fruit driven yet complex style of Sauvignon Blanc. Lime and grapefruit flavors form the core of the palate while the wines small portion of barrel fermentation adds a textured roundness to the mid-palate, which is balanced by bright, lively acidity and lasting impression of citrus on the finish. The quintessential summer apéritf, this wine also pairs beautifully with oysters, fresh chèvre and ceviche or just by itself.
