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

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

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