Aromas seem to be fading, getting very nutty and round. Palate is still bright, lively and kicking!

Brand-new from Copain, such a great Chardonnay: loads of minerality & acidity, really well-done

About as a perfect of a Chardonnay as I have EVER tasted. This will be the first release of this new vineyard for Copain. Wells knocked a home run and a half!
