2014 Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils Chardonnay

This is one of our go to Chardonnays. It is pale yellow in color and smells of lemons and peaches, with a little spice. I don't taste any oak on the palate and if it is fermented in oak, it is very well integrated. I like to read about the how the Chardonnay is made and I found this on the Internet: About Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils.
Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils is a wine producer situated in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet in Burgundy, founded in 1920. The grapes are harvested by hand, crushed and then fermented in 100 percent new French oak barrels. This is followed by battonage and malolactic fermentation. The wine is first aged for 12 months in barrel and a further 6 months in a single tank prior to bottling.
The wine is priced around $25.00 so doesn't quite make my "Wines Under $20" category, but it is a very nice Chardonnay for the price.
