Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral and honey mineral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and pear with citrus and floral notes. Medium+ finish, lively crisp acidity, ending with fruit, spice, honey and citrus mineral character.

Blind tasted 12/7/22. Got the varietal but thought it was old world, most likely Beaune or Macon. Very well made, integrated oak, good underlying mineral. I would drink this again!

2023 vintage. Bright fruit with matching intensity acidity. One of the handful of wines enjoyed from this property over the course of three decades +. Lightning in a bottle when you factor in the pricing. 05.07.25.

Beautiful thick Chardonnay with a nice fatty flavor that’s good for steak. Surprisingly good with thick butter and body.
