Napa Valley, California – Beaucanon Estate has announced the release of their 2008 Chardonnay. This vintage is made up of grapes from their old vines, which went into the production of this deep and structured Estate Chardonnay.
The Award Winning Beaucanon Estate 2008 Chardonnay is an extremely versatile wine. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with a hint of lemon acidity and subtle oak. Through decanting the wine, hints of the oak are noticed in the rich caramel, rosemary and limestone, which will continue to develop over time. This chardonnay can be enjoyed on its own, or paired with shellfish, such as scallops, fresh crab in lemon butter or Lobster Thermidor. It also contrasts well with Asian cuisine, seafood, as well as roast chicken and pork.

Grown, Produced and Bottled at Beaucanon Estate in Napa Valley, the Estate Chardonnay is sourced from premium grapes grown on Beaucanon’s rolling vineyards of Napa Valley, which produce smaller berries with more intense flavors. This wine encompasses a pale gold hue, with a hint of sweet vanilla and tropical bouquet of ripe pineapple, tangerine and coconut.
