oak barrelled, round bodied, cheap wine, long finish, buttery odours, more acidic than toasted head chardonnay but similar taste. would make a good hostess or novelty gift.
Far from endomorphic, the 2005 vintage from quirkily named French producer Fat Bastard weighs in a touch light, nimbly toeing the middle line of chardonnays. Neither a butter ball nor perfectly crisp, it offers a little bit to all, but not a lot to any, making it a smart choice for mixed company. A round nose of pear, melon and pineapple aromas creates dimension, while a slightly citric finish scrubs the palate clean after a binge of apple and pineapple. Worth its weight in value.

Not typical Southern France Chardonnay, this onersquo;s got body and complexity. Multilayered and smooth, with apple, fig, butter, hazelnuts and cream, it finishes with bright acidity. Tastes much more expensive that it is, so no will accuse you of being a cheap you-know-what.
The name says it all mdash; well, the fat part, anyway. This is a big, fat, juicy Chardonnay from Southern France. It is medium bodied and easy with immense tropical flavors and aromas of pineapple, Asian pear and apple. The finish is lightly toasted with an oak-granted spice. Wine Associates are sensitive to name calling, so be sure to request this wine carefully.

The name turns heads (it's actually British slang for full-bodied), but the taste turns your taste buds on! The wine has stone fruit and oaky notes (it spent 4 months in wood) with hints of tropical fruit. It reveals orange, grapefruit and vanilla flavors accompanied by a long, smooth, dry finish.
