Bodega Chacra
Mainque Chardonnay
Patagonia, Argentina
Super beautiful. It has weight and backbone yet so delicate. It has the perfect balance of austerity and richness. I still want to say it's Meursault in a Chacra bottle.

A collaboration between Bodega Chacra and the great Jean Marc Roulot. Instantly Roulot tension, palate tingling acidity and precision are noticed. Nose is a bit musky and subdued. Opened up to show white flowers, citrus blossoms and stony minerals. Finishes with impressive length and energy. The wine is aged in old barrels from Roulot Meursault. Really cool collaboration.

Balanced with nice acidity. A touch of oak but just the right amount. Nice to switch it up away from the typical now and then. A new world style but not overdone. Has a few reminders of Burgundy in there...

Green apple, white peach, wet stone, and fresh herbs. Savory and herbal on the palate. Moderate plus acid and moderate minus body.

Absolutely incredible. I need to buy more before everyone realizes how great it is.

My initial impressions were, wow, this is tasty stuff. Then I started thinking of everything lemon: meringue, Meyer, candy drops. You can smell a clean, crisp stream of clear water over rocks with Meyer lemons floating by and honey crisp trees on the shores mixed with some white flowers. The minerality carries over with a strong tart punch of lemon tart. The acidity is strong with this one. I’d love more to see how it develops, but sadly have no more.

Burgundy or Patagonia’s? Fresh zested lemon, dried pineapple, crisp apples on the nose. Vibrant minerality, lemon juice, pears, just the right amount of oak on the palate. Really exciting find. Fantastic replacement for a 1er cru Burgundy at half the price.
