Asda ES French Chardonnay

Got chance to try the Asda EX south of france Chardonnay with dinner last night.  I was pleasantly surprised.  I am generally a white Burgundy fan and lean towards the richer, honeyed, nutty styles.  This wasn't really that, but what it was was a reasonably generous yet composed and refined dry chardonnay.  It showed no overly oaky flavours, no overly nothing really other than a well balanced chardonnay.  A little fruit, a little minerality, a little structure.

I should really go and get a case at this prices (~£4.50) as it has all the hallmarks of a generalist all-rounder, good to drink on it's own or with a wide variety of foods.
