Equinoxe Chardonnay
Beautiful, aromatic dry white wine with nuances of toast, ripe apple, mango and some oak. The taste starts soft, mild and round and has a persistent aftertaste.
Thongue Equilibre
This rich Chardonnay is made from the first and best part of the very soft pressing and ferments in oak barrels, so that the wood influence is clearly present. After two months of bâtonnage, the wine matures for a total of ten months on the 'lie' in the same barrels.
The result is a very nice, dry Chardonnay with nuances of toast, ripe apple, mango and some oak. The seductive, luxurious and mild taste makes the wine very suitable to drink just like that, or to combine with nice dishes such as scallops Saint Jacques, turbot or poultry. Richer than a white Burgundy, but not as heavy as many Chardonnays from the New World.

Mention
De Grote Hamersma 2019: 8.5 | Mango, passion fruit, pineapple, roasted nuts and lemon cream
Description
Does its best and brings mango, passion fruit, pineapple, roasted nuts and lemon cream. Destination reached. Don't choke. The wine is too good for that.
Mention
Hubrecht Duijker - August 2018: Best in Test | Mild vanilla tones, a subtle smokiness
Description
You could call it a Burgundian, perhaps even Californian styled Chardonnay. At Domaine l'Arjolle it was fermented in oak barrels and then aged for ten months. Roasted aromas are therefore clearly present in the smell and taste, together with by definition mild vanilla tones, a subtle smokiness and a very vague something of milk chocolate briefly dipped in caramel, as well as a soft, civilized spiciness. Turkey, chicken, veal, this Chardonnay deserves a place with these types of dishes.
