I am boring sometimes and like Chardonnay, maybe because I eat a lot of fish. Sometimes I don't want to drink a big oaky California wine so I switch it up and decide "let's go French". So off I go to my little wine shop that specializes in French boutique wines.It just so happens that I have 2 wines shops that I go to for French boutique wines.

This was a lovely French Chardonnay from the Macon area with just the right amount of oak, with hints of peach and almond. It really had a nice long finish. Quite a little wine, at a nice price. A tasty alternative to California Chardonnay.

Again, I had a yearning for French white wine and went to my little  French wine shop and found this little gem of a wine. 35% barrel fermented chardonnay with hints of apple, citrus and stone show off the terroir. I drank this one right up!

Definitely a good choice with shellfish, poultry and light appetizers. Classic Maconnais style Burgundian wine. Another great little French wine at a reasonable price.
