90 points Wine Spectator: "Complex aromas of citrus, pear, apple and honeysuckle, with touches of toasty oak. Full-bodied, rich and elegant, with a long, lingering finish." (Tasting Highlights, 12/9/08) And, according to Robert Parker: "The fruity, medium-bodied 2007 Chardonnay is ideal for present consumption." (12/08) Chateau Souverain has been a constant in the California wine world for many, many years. They always seem to produce solid, varietally correct wines with plenty of fruit and structure and, better yet, they are typically amazing values. The 2007 Chardonnay is no exception to this legacy. Full of tropical notes like lychee, dried pineapple and green tea with an underlying base of butterscotch, this is a bit more than your typical $12 Chard. There is a lot of stuffing here and the level of richness found in wines twice the price, if not more. Full-bodied and coating on the palate, this shows layer upon layer of pie crust, vanilla, Fuji apple and some of the reoccurring themes of butterscotch and pineapple. With just enough snappy acid to move it along and surprisingly long, lasting finish this is a serious value. (Bryan Brick, K&L)
