Majestic, Domaine Ste Rose, Vin de Pays d'Oc £6.99 with £2 off when you buy 2 bottles.
Having had a (gigantic) Rousanne by this producer, I was interested to see what their Chardonnay / Rousanne blend was like. It seemed like a winter friendly blend, all set to be tasty and interesting, but turned out to be a wierd let down. There's another bottle in the rack, and maybe given chance with a meal, it'll do better, but for now, it's a 'don't buy again'.
It was pretty winey, the sort of thing if handed to me in a pub wouldn't register as anything other than a slightly above average house white. I couldn't tell you where it was from, no sense of place, despite being as French a thing as you care to dream up. The aftertaste was just so bitter, we drank it with a grimace. The man was distinctly unimpressed with this choice of mine. Oops.
