Bachelder Les Villages Bench Chardonnay 2024

Niagara Escarpment, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaQuietly authoritative, like Thomas Bachelder, this Villages chardonnay is all you could want for the price. Especially if you are a New World Burgundy fan, this lean, mineral, stony, light, lemony chardonnay is a lot of fun to drink. Often producers try too hard for a home run, but this wine quietly delivers for its station in the wine hierarchy, and who could ask for more? Anything that doesn't make it into the single vineyard crus ends up here, delivering a lightly buttery, warm nose with a savoury, nutty palate and a light, fresh, lemony finish. Love this style of chardonnay. It stays true to itself.Tasted: 17 April 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
