Daou - Bodyguard - Chardonnay

Overview: Conceived by brothers Georges and Daniel Daou, Bodyguard Chardonnay
is a wine of uncommon opulence. The Bodyguard Chardonnay uses grapes from the famous Santa Barbara appellation that benefits from the proximity of Pacific Ocean. Cold fermentations are performed to maintain the aromatic precursors with a combination of French and American oak to deliver a creamy and buttery mouthfeel. The Chardonnay grape truly reflects where it is grown and as such the terroir expresses itself very accurately in the glass. 

Tasting Notes: Ripe fruit, vanilla-laced oak notes and an all around rich and buttery mouthfeel. The warmer climate of California provides a deeper golden color, aromas of vanilla, cinnamon and coconut, and the flavors can range from mango and banana to butter and cream. 

Pairing: Seafood dishes based on shellfish like crab, lobster, shrimp, and mussels.
