Superb. If this is the “entry level” Chardonnay it’s holding up splendidly. It’s oxidative but not overbearingly so; it’s an intriguing mix of salty lemon, apple and pear, almonds, honey, and biscuit dough. It’s surprisingly easy to drink

Ideal balance of nuttiness, funk/salinity, and fruit. Paired with creamed carrot leek ham and egg crepe.

Salty, tangy, woolly, and oxidative but not overly so. Pretty dialed in

Burgundian? I hate to say it (does everything need to be Burgundian?) but kind of. Elegance and a lovely purity with a tiny touch of Jura twang. Give Gahier some glory, please!

Lively, Limey, flinty. Mushroom undertones. Always love Gahier.

An apple before it's turned, raw nuts and steely minerals. Fruit shows ripe on palate without giving up any of the acidity. This mouth feel is dope.

Flinty/Stoney quality that comes through on the palate. Med body. Lemon peel, Brazilian nuts and something herbaceous. Loving it.
