TOP BOX 샤르도네 (3L, 백인박스), 워싱턴

We're already halfway through the box and it hasn't lost any of that fresh apple and baked pear brightness, which is rare for a big format wine. The toasted nut finish makes it dangerously easy to keep pouring, and honestly, not having to worry about a cork is the best part.

Opened this for a casual weeknight dinner and was honestly surprised how fresh it stayed after being in the fridge for a few days. The apple and baked pear notes come through nicely, and the 3L box lasting four bottles makes it easy to pour a glass without guilt.

Took this box to a potluck and it was a crowd-pleaser. The apple and pear notes come through nicely without being too sweet, and for the price of four bottles it's a solid value. Only gripe is I wish the box had a slightly sturdier pour spout.
