Chateau St. Jean 2006 Belle Terre Vineyard Chardonnay (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Belle Terre Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Chateau St. Jean / Alexander Valley

Reminiscent of the 2000, this wine has a crisp, linear character that emphasizes minerals rather than the overt tropical fruits the vineyard shows in warmer vintages. It’s a fine, dry, acidic Chardonnay whose oak-infused lemon and lime flavors will complement sourdough bread and cracked crab.
