Medium gold. Gorgeous aroma and palate. Burgundy, chassagne, in every sense of the word. Slightly denser. Lay it down if you find it.

May 27th, 20162011 vintage. Weingut Daniel & Marta Grantenbein Chardonnay 2011 - from Jay. Quick note/thought on this Swiss Chardonnay from Graubunden - Roasted hazelnuts - honey suckle - white acacia - crushed rocks - beautiful nose - very PM in style on the nose but with greater energy/tension. Very good acidity / well integrated. Lovely poise with good attack. Great minerality - altogether a fabulous expression of Chardonnay. Good finish. Lovely little cracker of a wine. A lovely find but virtually impossible to source within Switzerland let alone outside (2.3 acres under vine in total for the Chardonnay). 93/100.
