Cachapoal

Aristos

Duquesa D'A Chardonnay 2012

It is no mistake that there are Burgundian aspects to this wine—the winemaker is the third generation of a French family in Chile. This Chardonnay is full of surprises with magnificent components that, impressive as they are, register as more than the sum of their beautiful parts. On the nose, remarkably reductive, gunflint leaning almost into gassy sulfur realm but enticingly so. On the palate, all those notes jump up to say look at me! Then suddenly give way to caramelized caramel corn, brown velvet sugar, and browned butter cut through with sudden rippling minerality, ceding to an almost oily texture cut with friendly acidity. The finish goes on and on, lingering on the browned butter and caramel. It’s SO enticing; give it time in the glass to evolve. A gift that keeps on giving. — 16 days ago

Dark ruby color. Aromas of blue and black fruit, forest floor and leather. Ripe black cherry and dark plum in the palate with additional hints of dark chocolate, roasted poblano pepper, dried herbs, tobacco and baking spices. Touch of minerality on the long and lingering finish. Full bodied, bold and chewy. Thanks for opening, Ron B! — 3 months ago
