WTN: 2002 La Begude Limoux Chardonnay

[geo t.]

2002 La Begude Limoux Chardonnay, $13.99, 13.5% alc.: Medium straw, with softly herbal apple and pear flavors and aromas dosed with a good deal of mineral and some detergent on the fin; notes of lime and chalk emerge with air, and the rich fruit really shines in the mid - palate. Medium - bodied, with crisp acidity and a nice finish; very tasty, and an excellent QPR value. We've gone through several of these in the last few weeks, and it will certainly be one of our house whites over the summer months. Between this and the white Burgundies reviewed recently, we've enjoyed more Chardonnay in the last couple of months than we've had in the last couple of years.
