Not bad, but not up to its pedigree.
Exceedingly pale brassy-gold color. Straw, sharp-ish chalky minerals, citrus peel and bitter, spiced peach on the medium intensity nose. Soft and straightforward in the mouth, with underripe peach and chalky-stone flavors. Not terribly concentrated, with a decent, but slightly bitter finish. Like a decent Macon wine. 84. Was $12.99 at Whole Foods on Bellaire.

I really like this wine, even though I'm not usually a fan of Chardonnays. It's one of the few I've seen described as "mineraly." Can you suggest other wines like this?
Tom, I'll think you'll find that most of the Macon and generic Bourgogne appellation wines made by VERGET will have this minerally quality, but with perhaps a bit more concentration of flavor.
