Outstanding representation of RRV chard.
Big nose of almonds, brioche and lemon curd. Palate is weighty and viscous. Exotic notes of pineapple, melon and hints of sage, all wrapped in a precise envelope of acidity. Finish is luxurious. Comparing this to Aubert/Kistler, you must put this in your cellar.

I agree with notes from @Ron R The bouquet just explodes out of the glass. On the palate, this is clean, crisp, and perfectly balanced. Just a wonderful chardonnay.
