The 2024 Fat Bastard Chardonnay is a generous and fruit-forward French Chardonnay sourced from southern France, offering a modern expression of the variety with plenty of flavour and balance. The nose is expressive and inviting, showing aromas of ripe peach, nectarine and citrus, complemented by subtle hints of melon and light vanilla oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture and refreshing acidity. Flavours of stone fruit, baked apple and lemon curd are supported by gentle oak spice, leading to a clean, balanced finish with lingering citrus and orchard fruit notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy fuller-flavoured Chardonnay with ripe fruit character and a touch of creamy texture. Approachable and versatile, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes and mild cheeses. Drinking well now, it will continue to show its best over the next 2–4 years when served lightly chilled.
