Fat Bastard Chardonnay (750ml) is an internationally acclaimed, full-bodied white wine that proudly lives up to its wonderfully bold name. Born from a collaboration between renowned French winemaker Thierry Boudinaud and British wine visionary Guy Anderson, this legendary brand was named after Boudinaud enthusiastically described a highly concentrated, barrel-aged batch as a "fat bastard" of a wine. Sourced from sun-drenched vineyards across the Languedoc-Roussillon region in Southern France, it delivers an unabashedly rich, smooth, and texturally complex palate that has won the hearts of wine lovers worldwide.
Exceptional Roundness & French Craftsmanship
The secret to its signature, mouth-coating texture lies in meticulous winemaking. The grapes are harvested at perfect maturity and undergo a cold stabilization process before a portion is aged on its fine yeast lees (sur lie) with regular stirring. This traditional French technique develops a creamy, complex mid-palate structure and layers of rich vanilla spice, while maintaining the pure, juicy tropical fruit core of the Languedoc terroir.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: A brilliant golden straw color in the glass. The nose is highly expressive and fragrant, opening with intense aromas of ripe yellow peach, grilled pineapple, and sweet mandarin zest, seamlessly layered over a backdrop of vanilla bean and toasted hazelnuts.
  • Palate: Generous, round, and plush on the tongue. The palate treats the mouth to an opulent core of rich stone fruits, buttery brioche, and vanilla custard, offering a satisfyingly heavy yet lively weight.
  • Finish: Long, velvety, and incredibly smooth. It concludes with a warm, comforting trail of baking spices, sweet toasted oak, and a clean line of refreshing Mediterranean acidity that balances out its rich texture.
