Better than several 2007 white Burgundies had recently. Still fruit and sweetness; shows cream, lemon zest, dried coconut flakes and good balance. Would drink sooner.

First time tasting this bottling from the Littorai home farm vineyard, picked up on a visit last year. Purportedly this is their most Chablis-like wine with its citrus fruit and razor acidity, but it is fleshing out nicely now. Plenty of folks are now making great Cali Pinot, and God bless them, but none of them are making Chardonnay like this man.

Fresh, and citrus aromas. Lemon oil and earth. Probably my favorite Littorai Chardonnay to date.

A richer dense style than some littorai. Definite oak presence but you can taste tropical fruit and citrus. Although I wouldn’t call it acid driven there’s enough to keep it lively.
