Most serious wine consumers realize Chateau Souverain is a good source for value-priced, fruit-forward, interesting reds and whites offering plenty of appeal. Their oaky-styled 2003 Chardonnay exhibits copious amounts of tropical fruit, medium body, and fine purity. Readers who do not enjoy a lot of wood will not appreciate this particular cuvee. Tel.
