Florent Garaudet
"Sous le Cellier" Monthelíe Chardonnay
A little White Burg to help the cooking along. If you like your Chardonnay with a lot of fruit, this is not your type. Lean and minerally. A bit of barely ripe peach and apple on the nose, but decidedly taking a back seat to lemon-drenched stones. Great acids and loads of lean, juicy stoniness in the mouth. A character.

Nov 30th, 2019High-toned, tense and shows the tiniest bit of Meursault-like tender green herbs on the nose. Judicious, subtle oak; ample salinity shines on the finish. Classy white Burgundy that tastes $25 more expensive than it is. #garaudet #monthelie #chardonnay #cotedebeaune

Aug 18th, 2018Florent made unreal 15’s. If you missed out because 15 is “low acid” you will be crying. This is as fresh as the 14 but gets it from insane minerality and good acidity. Beautiful richness and purity and finish that does not quit!

Mar 12th, 2018Lovely nose, very pure, buttery, mineral, shows warmth of 15 but also shows freshness and depth. Very pure. Explosive fruit.

Feb 6th, 2018Wow has age done wonders for this. Stunning nose or wet earth, spice, green apples, some iodine. Really complex. Palate it ripe and rich with terrific minerality and wonderful purity and freshness. Almost a chewy density. Long finish. Perfectly integrated oak. Electric acids and mouthwatering finish. This is profound.
