🏰【Domaine Yui is a new producer making waves in Hokkaido and abroad, with their A4 Chardonnay Hokkaido 2023 being an immediately impressive, balanced, and composed expression of Japanese Chardonnay】. This wine displays a deep lemon color. The nose can be heavy oak at first, but with air, it opens up to notes of green/yellow apple, lime zest, cantaloupe, biscuit, sweet spice, and pineapple. It offers clean citrus, light orchard fruit, and a subtle savory edge, with buttery and vanilla notes. While it has high acidity, the aromas can be weaker on the palate. 🍴 This Chardonnay is an excellent match for shellfish, vegetarian dishes, poultry, lean fish, and mild and soft cheese. It is also ideal for refined dinners focused on seafood or seasonal vegetables. 🥂 Excellent as an aperitif among wine lovers seeking a fresh yet serious white, for refined dinners, or for tastings comparing different Chardonnay styles.
