The 2020 Caveau Quinard Chardonnay Ieads with a pronounced richness on the nose, but also unique notes of yellow citrus flowers. The palate unveils a stunning, pure core of orchard fruit—think crisp apples and ripe pears, layered over a subtle mineral backbone that speaks to its mountainous terroir. This wine captures the essence of the region's unique climate and soil, presenting a Chardonnay that's both rich and refreshingly precise.

Its richness and fruit-forward character make it a versatile partner to a variety of dishes. It's particularly well-suited to full-flavored pastas like a white ragù, or a rich, buttery chicken fricassee, where its acidity can cut through the richness. For a vegetarian option, consider a tartiflette sans bacon, where the wine's fruit notes and creamy texture will complement the dish's cheesy, potato-based goodness.
