Chardonnay 2010, Domaine Gerovassiliou

Date Tasted: 12/2021

Domaine Gerovassiliou has established a reputation for crafting top-quality white wines all these years. That 11 years Chardonnay is a good example that is still showing freshness and fruit purity. 

Appearance: Deep golden colour.

Nose: It is concentrated and complex with layers of stone fruits and spices like ripe peach and vanilla. It delivers enjoyment without any sign of oxidation.

Palate: It is full-bodied with a bit of oily touch. The flavours of peach, nectarine, smoke and cinnamon are intense. It has almost high acidity. It is delicious and has a medium-length finish.

Drink: It runs an excellent period with a couple of years ahead. 

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon in the oven with citrus fruit sauce will be paired well.
