Domaine Leflaive

Clavoillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clavoillon” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of green apple, tropical fruit, stone fruit, lemon meringue, white flowers, nuts and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. Again, we were spared from premox; hallelujah! When Leflaive hits, it’s amongst the best in Burgundy. Drink now through 2035. — 7 days ago

Stony Hill

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023

Refreshing and good mouthfeel, it was lacking in depth, length and on the simple side. — 9 days ago

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2004

Corked? A light whiff. Great color and acidity. Dazzling lemon streak and balance. A hint of grapefruit and steely. I think it not corked with time in glass. A bit of funk maybe. Very good. Slight petrol — 3 hours ago

Kongsgaard

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2015

We called this as being mellowed with time versus muted. The flavors were great but lacked acidity sharpness. Mom said she was a big fan of this. Very enjoyable with the standard flavors but not as intense. — 13 days ago

Cakebread Cellars

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and spice scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. Pair this with a tuna steak. — 19 days ago
