Cuvée Dix-Neuvième Twenty Mile Bench Chardonnay

Drinking very well at 8 years of age. Mineral notes, fruit, acidity and leesy aromas/texture all seem to be in a sweet spot right now. Little to no reduction left on opening and not much in terms of oxidized notes either. Honestly had me thinking of meursault or st-aubin premier cru.

Un chardonnay pur, racé et avec une forte personnalité.

So I'm a little biased (local pride and all) but I'm really enjoying drinking this. To the wine growers/makers out there, how do you get a wine to be both oxidized(-ative) & reduced (-tive) at the same time? Oxidative winemaking with lees contact for the "reductive" element? J'aime

Wow, spectacular

Mom likes it a lot. Dad a little less. Got at Maine and Loire, Portland, Maine.

See some? Get it

Fantastic, from mag

Really love this wine. Tremendous character here from the winemakers treatment. Great touch of oxidization.

This is the cuvée kocsis

Needs quite a bit of decanting. I totally love the length & full-bodied style of this Canadian Chardonnay! 2012 vintage
