From J.L. Gigueure, Matchbook Old Head 2018 Chardonnay is a great value California Chard, creamy on the palate with ripe apple, vanilla and toasty oak spice flavours. Zesty and nicely balanced.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, pork chops, seafood Alfredo.

Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Harvested in the Dunnigan Hills region of California, by the Giguiere Family, the Matchbook 2018 Chardonnay offers aromas of starfruit, pear, lime peel, butter, vanilla and pie crust. A full body, paired with just the right amount of acidity, contribute to a fresh and well-layered finish. Palate: cooked pineapple, pear, honeysuckle, saline, toast, baking spice and pie crust. Enjoy!

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
