Giguiere Musque' Chardonnay Clone 809
Prepare to be amazed. Musqué clone 809 is unlike any Chardonnay you have tasted. It combines the fragrant aromas and flavors of Muscat with the creamy texture of Chardonnay. This distinct clone is named for the French term meaning both perfumed (‘musky’) and Muscat-like, and indicates that the variety is highly aromatic. The Chardonnay Musque 809 clone grown in the Giguiere Family’s JK Vineyard certainly lives up to its name. Heady aromas of gardenia, jasmine, and honeysuckle waft from the glass. Vibrant flavors of orange zest and lime peel mingle with wildflower honey and caramelized sugar. The tiny bit of spritz on the finish is delightful. Pair this crowd-pleasing wine with spicy Thai food or creamy chevre on crostini.
