2011 Domaine R De La Grange Vin De Pays Du Val De Loire Chardonnay

Taste: 2/5
Value: 2/5
Price: $13

Description from the Winemaker: The Domaine R de la Grange Chardonnay is gown in the cool Loire Valley on clay and silica soils. This unoaked Chardonnay offers beautiful restrained fruit and bright acidity and exhibits a harmonious, fruity and floral nose. Smooth and crisp on the palate, this wine is easy to drink for all occasions. Serve as an aperitif or with salad, fish, pork, or cheese.
Goes to show you can make anything sound good - I found this wine unpleasantly flinty and sharp.  "Restrained" fruit translated to near non-existent for me.
