Description

Hailed by The Drinks Business as the #1 Chardonnay in 2020, this wine rivals nearly any Grand Cru white Burgundy in quality but at a much friendlier price. Its silky texture envelops a core of fresh citrus, toasted oak, peaches, apples, and a saline note. We’re thrilled to sell this rare and exclusive wine, which is normally offered to collectors only once a year.

This white wine exhibits aromas of lemon, lily, white truffle and vanilla, which are tantalizing with lemon, tree fruits and saline flavors. Luscious texture and balanced, bright acidity.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Aromas of white peach, baked lemon and almond skin. Medium-bodied with supple, oily texture. Elegant with pleasantly ripe peachy fruit complemented by lees complexity and a bit of nutty character. Layered. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
