Rich and ripe. Malo but no as winemaker said it’s not mako and oaky but also super mineral. Nutty as well. Amazing grand cru grip and texture. Salty and slippery. Excellent.

Disappointed by this. Tastes more like winemaking than anything else-- Malo, way too much oak, and acidification. Acceptable for $20, but definitely not for $60.

Okay Chardonnay, not worth the price. This wine tastes like a standard $20 Chardonnay. Nothing wrong with that, except one expects more when the bottle costs $50. Plenty of oak but not buttery.

Very nice Chardonnay. Full bodied, buttery smooth and citrus and white fruit on the nose. I really like it
