The 2007 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard exhibits copious aromas of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, and lemon blossoms in a medium to full-bodied, richly fruity style revealing hints of wet rocks/stones, white peaches, and pit fruit. This impressive Chardonnay should drink nicely for 4-5 years. This winery produces some exceptional bargain-priced wines and consistently does an enviable job with Sauvignon Blanc, or as they call it, Fume Blanc. There has been a long legacy of top-notch Fume Blancs produced ever since veteran winemaker Richard Arrowood was fashioning the wines at Chateau St.-Jean in the 1970s. Chateau St. Jean produces four distinctive styles of Chardonnay. My favorites tend to vary with the vintage, and in 2007, the Belle Terre Vineyard came out on top.Tel.
