France
Although the Loire may be famous for its Sauvignon and Chenin Blancs, Chardonnay has earned a rightful place here. Grown on the rugged granite soils of Muscadet, the Famille Lieubeau's Chardonnay is laser-focused, with rich yellow fruit, and a steel-edged minerality on the nose, while the palate is brisk, refreshing, and mouth-filling.
A cooler-climate Chardonnay will always be superb beside richer seafood preparations like lobster thermidor, or salmon with beurre blanc, although this wine has enough body and versatility to match roast chicken, or any arrangement of roasted market vegetables.
