Les Pierres

Les Pierres Wine Details
Price: $37.99 per bottle

Description: At first the scent is creamy, yet clean, with essence of delicate green pear. With time in the glass, the flinty wet stone aroma takes over, coupled with overtones of rich, yeasty Champagne. The mouth is lush and ripe, yet at the same time firmly structured. The finish is Grand Cru Les Pierres … firm, crystalline and mouthwatering. Les Pierres is a more austere Chardonnay and pairs well with sauces made with cream or finished with butter. It is elegant with a pan-seared sea bass, topped with a sauce of coconut milk, fish stock and reduced Les Pierres, seasoned with ginger, lemongrass and shallots. Taste for a balance of sweetness, acidity and smoothness (you can perk it up with a little lime if it needs it!). Whether you use seafood, poultry or veal, the sauce you serve should be well-rounded and full, with good balance. This magnificent Chardonnay deserves the best.
