Chateau Ste Michelle, Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA 2020

New to the Majestic range and a complement to the Cabernet Sauvignon, this Chardonnay comes from the pioneering estate that put Washington State on the wine map. It's not a subtle wine - a powerful whack of butter, vanilla and buttercream create an indulgent image, which translates through to the palate too - full and intense with notes of nectarine, crème patissière and toast. A wine which needs food.
