The 2022 Chardonnay Arbois Patchwork was bottled in March 2024. Opening with some reduction, time in the glass unearths wet stone and lemon flesh aromas. Anchored by zesty acidity, the 2022 is a well-built and tensile Chardonnay that walks off the stage with a tidy finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

Better than the last bottle - more fruit and saline too, but it still missed the mark for me. Not as bright as I’d expect from this bottle and a touch of VA. Same source as the last bottle.

Usually excellent but this bottle missed the mark. Too oxi and a touch volatile. Still mineral though.

First wine of 2020! (not including Charles Heidsieck ‘06, Bérèche Brut Reserve & Macle ‘09 after midnight on NYE).
Drank on New Year’s Day with roast pork shoulder, spiced gammon, roast potatoes, apple sauce and a cider & onion gravy.
No tasting note but the wine was in great shape with that lovely saline tangy finish and worked very well with the meat and crackling.

An impressive effort, totally cohesive despite the “Patchwork” moniker. Salty rocks, tangy candied tropical fruit, hint of caramel, nuts and toast
