Delivering exceptional flavor at such an accessible price point is exactly where Jidvei excels. Chardonnay is a variety whose character shifts significantly depending on its terroir and climate. While this expression comes from a cool-climate region, it avoids being overly lean or thin. Instead, it reveals the richness of grapes grown in sun-drenched vineyards and harvested at peak ripeness. Our Yokohama shop manager personally recommends this bottle with absolute confidence.

Tasting notes

Appearance

Clear, pale lemon.

Nose

The bouquet reflects the wine's vibrant youth, dominated by fresh primary aromas. It features distinct notes of chervil, fennel, grapefruit, and pear, layered with apple, white peach, and nectarine. Subtle hints of acacia blossoms, wet stone, elderflower, and chamomile emerge, finished with a delicate touch of biscuit.

Palate

On the palate, this is a light-bodied wine leaning toward medium, supported by a solid structural backbone. Even in its youth, it offers a satisfying presence and a superb balance between acidity and flavor. With two to three years of aging, the body will gain weight and a more mellow complexity. While fruit-driven, elegant accents of flowers and herbs provide a sophisticated finish.

Food pairing

We recommend pairing this wine with green salads tossed in light vinaigrettes or simple, savory dishes. It also complements lightly seasoned mushroom dishes (such as sautéed mushrooms in butter), white fish meunière, creamy pastas, sautéed chicken, or fresh white-fish sushi.
