The aromatically demure 2000 Chardonnay Classic was vinified and aged 30% in foudre and the balance in stainless steel tanks (its malo lactic fermentation was blocked). Minerals, honeydew melon, smoke, and pears can be discerned in this light to medium-bodied wine's character. Drink it over the next 2 years. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
