Chateau Bellamonte Chardonnay has aromas of pear and citrus, which are followed by French oak and toasty hazelnut notes. From first sip, it is lush, elegant, with a creamy mouth-feel and has flavors of white peach and lemon citrus. Soft oak tannins are perfectly balanced by acidity, and there is a long finish that continues to linger. This Chardonnay delivers power, richness, and bright (cool-climate, zone 1) acidity. $30 / bottle.
