Exuberant and lively baked yellow apple pie aromas flood the nose, but back stage, crushed gravel, hazelnut, and butter take control. Wild yeast fermentation ushers in some diversity; something that you can't quite put your finger on. 2013 vintage's acidity and minerality is prevalent and gives it vibrancy. Palate is covered in buttered toast and fresh apples. Weight and alcohol is held together with the oak and acidity. Plush and creamy without being flat or outdated. Finish doesn't stop; 2+ minutes. Everything sits in balance. Very reminiscent of quality Beaune. Who's says butter can't be integrated properly in Chardonnay? Butter haters can go drink some haterade. #snowday — 7 years ago
