No. 6 Dijon Free Johan Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Completely smitten with this dense, complex, and entirely palatable Chardonnay.

Yellow straw color that hints at minor oak aging. Beautiful and intense aromas of struck match, toasted marshmallow, baked bread, pineapple, and guava. Absolutely no vanillin coming through. Upon cold opening it was much more tropical focused and then warmed up to become more toasty. Was fun to witness the evolution.

Sharp acid edge and medium bodied. Drinks clean and has a buttered popcorn and golden apple dialect.

Gorgeous!

Very enjoyable. Lovely nose with lemon custard, candied pineapple, overripe pear, and nuanced buttery popcorn. Great structure and awesome balance. Worthy of buying in bulk. — 4 years ago

Glad you enjoyed. When you can find this for the right price, it’s killer.

That’s the trick at this point: finding it at the right price. At present I can only find it for $60-$70/bottle so I may need to look online for better pricing.

I can sometimes find it for $45 at Ellerbe’s locally. Inconsistent though.

Les Narvaux Meursault Chardonnay 2017

So much SO2 at first, this needed a full day open to blow off. Subtle nose of wet stone, some pomaceous fruit, SO2. You could argue its flawed given the perceptible sulphur. With air and vigorous aeration it slowly unwinded and blew off. Palate is gorgeous though, it is taut with a defined sensibility to it. Lemon peel, orange zest, ripe pear, white peach, orchard blossom, crushed flint and chalk, hazelnut, popcorn, and an ever so slight touch of vanilla and spice on the long finish. A thread of reduction no surprise there. Plenty of top-of-the slope character with racy acid and mineral backbone. I find it rather finessed all in all. Would love to revisit in 5-8 years. — 4 years ago

Medium lemon color. Pronounced nose. Lemon custard, honey, quince, popcorn, Smokey. Medium+ acidity, high alcohol, medium+ body. The high alcohol and the lees mask the fruit and the resulting sensation is a lack of freshness. — 9 months ago
