Critic Review: "Apple juice for the alcoholic," and "Good cheese wine," are the extent of the reviews I could find on this specific Chardonnay. Therefore I'll post the winemaker's comments below, as well. ~https://www.vivino.com/wineries/borgate/wines/le-chardonnay-9999
Evidently this wine isn't very popular, even with the manufacturer. Their own website only has a placeholder with an "insert here" statement. No wonder. It's kind of gross. On to my review.

My Review: This is probably the worst wine I've had so far in this class. From the uninviting pale color to the first weak scent of peachy, grassy, nothingness, I had a feeling this would rival the earlier Pinot Grigio for worst wine award. Then I tasted it. A little citrus, maybe, to go with the peachy grass. Not too sweet. Not too acid. Not much of anything, honestly. Drinking it with my salad helped a little, but really this stuff just isn't very good. If you want a good Chardonnay, the Auspicion from California I reviewed a couple weeks ago was MUCH better.
