Domaine du Tariquet - Chardonnay Tête de Cuvée 2009
One of the estate’s rarest wines, the Chardonnay Tête de Cuvée is aged for 12 months in new oak barrels, lending a beautiful elegance to this southern Chardonnay, which is produced in very small quantities and only when the vintage permits. It reveals itself as intense, with an immediate sensation of ripe grapes, vanilla notes, and a concentration of stone fruit nuances... A beautiful bottle!

A decent wine, but perhaps a bit too vinous; lacks sophistication.

A real treat. Some Burgundy wines that cost twice as much can’t hold a candle to this!

A great Tariquet for Sauvignon lovers. A reasonable price for a truly excellent bottle.

Review by Mr. WILLIAM O. Posted on 11/02/2012
Way too much aging. The flavors are completely overwhelmed by the oak, and it's hard to finish even a second glass.
