Equinoxe Chardonnay
Beautiful, aromatic dry white wine with nuances of toast, ripe apple, mango and some oak. The taste is 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 yeast in oak barrels, so the wood influence is clearly present. After two months of storage, the wine matures for a total of ten months on the lees 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 ideal to drink on its own, or to combine with beautiful dishes such as scallops Saint Jacques, turbot or poultry. Richer than a white Burgundy, but not as bulky as many New World Chardonnays.

Mention
De Grote Hamersma 2019: 8.5 | Mango, passion fruit, pineapple, roasted nuts and lemon cream
Description
Does his 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 the Test | Mild vanilla notes, a subtle smokiness
Description
You could call it a Burgundian, perhaps Californian style Chardonnay. At Domaine l'Arjolle it was fermented in oak casks and then aged for ten months. Roast aromas are therefore clearly present in smell and taste, together with by definition mild vanilla notes, a subtle smokiness and very faintly something of milk chocolate dipped in caramel, as well as a soft, civilized spiciness. Turkey, chicken, veal, this Chardonnay deserves a place in these types of dishes.
