The 2016 Bouglier Ranc Valley Chardonnay has aromas of tropical fruits, lemon, and pear with a hint of caramel and toast. The wine opens with fresh fruit flavors of pineapple and mango, followed by flavors of citrus and honeydew. The mouthfeel is bright, round, and generous, with sweet, round, mouth-watering acidity that lingers on the finish. The wine is a refreshing alternative to Chardonnay, which can be consumed now and over the next few years.
