This Chardonnay demonstrates that Domaine Pujol, for white wines, focuses on finesse as much as on southern ripeness, with exotic fruit, light honey notes, and a fresh, dry character. The subtle oak aging of a portion of the harvest gives it a bit more breadth without losing its light, elegant character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"608\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"738\"\u003eIts origin gives this wine significantly more character than a general South French Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"1726\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"qcrhx4\" data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"765\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Pujol originated in Saint Frichoux in the Languedoc and also has vineyards in Laure-Minervois.
