Such a classy bitch. Stylish, refined, and youthful. Drinking so well right now with a fantastic mineral backbone. The oak influence is seamless but pronounced.

Still a polarizing wine though with some blind tasters recognizing the wine’s quality while still being put off by the genre of oaked California Chardonnay. — 4 days ago

Lovely buttery aromas up front (almost buttered popcorn), minerals, a little salinity as well, round and rich, long finish, terrific showing for this 1er Cru!! — 12 days ago

Deep lemon, minerality, still bright acidity. Always good. — 5 days ago

My top all time Chardonnay. I’ve had many Art series in the past but this bottle had the depth and complexity that others lacked. A pineapple/tropical entry, then the mid palate explodes with lemon meringue, and a strong yeast element. There is serious weight, but the wine is so light on its feet. The length, complexity, and delicate detail are astonishing. Profound. — 4 days ago

A Matthiasson wine weekend!

Best bottle yet! Nice gold color. Meyer lemon, a hint of butter, and maybe a slight metallic element on the nose. Great balance of acidity and oak on the palate. Medium plus depth and medium finish. Amazing QPR. — 10 days ago

very fresh and bright. Gorgeous fruit- pure and long. So Raveneau in character with that chalky, pretty mid palate. All the lovely clarity of 11 Raveneau — 12 days ago

2012 base vintage. Lovely bright lemon and slate. A peachy, fleshy note. Vivid and clear. Kinda dramatic and showy but with real substance and great acidity. Wow. — 14 days ago

A sexy zippy nose. Loads of thrust and vin. Lemon oil, steel, sizzling acidity. Some tropical fruit, melon and kiwi. Great stuff. — 6 days ago
