The Chardonnay opens with aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, and citrus blossom, accented by subtle hints of vanilla and stone fruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, offering flavors of baked apple, lemon curd, and a touch of tropical fruit. A soft, rounded texture is balanced by refreshing acidity, keeping the wine lively and food-friendly. Oak influence is restrained, adding gentle creaminess without heaviness. The finish is clean, polished, and approachable.

The Estate

Pacific Palisades is a modern French wine brand focused on crafting accessible, fruit-driven wines sourced from quality vineyards in southern France. The Pays d’Oc IGP allows flexibility in winemaking, enabling a polished, consistent style that bridges Old World origins with New World appeal. The brand emphasizes value, balance, and everyday drinkability.

Wine Making

Fruit is sourced from select Pays d’Oc vineyards benefiting from warm Mediterranean sunshine tempered by cooling influences that preserve freshness. Fermentation is primarily carried out in stainless steel to retain bright fruit character, with a portion aged using neutral oak or oak alternatives to add roundness and subtle spice. Lees contact contributes texture and mouthfeel. The winemaking style favors balance, softness, and immediate appeal.

Food Suggestions

This Chardonnay pairs well with roasted chicken, grilled shrimp, or creamy pasta dishes. Its balance also complements seafood such as scallops or crab cakes. For vegetarian options, enjoy with butternut squash, creamy risotto, or dishes featuring corn, mushrooms, or mild cheeses.
