A more modern, slightly funky approach to Chardonnay from the Seckinger brothers.
Limestone, used wood aging, slightly reductive in the nose with popcorn/sesame reduction, a touch herby plus a bit of ripe pear in the backdrop.
On the palate this is much more Chardonnay, overripe lemon, melon & a bit of pineapple, limestone minerality bringing freshness. Nicely balanced and with good purity even if not too much depth.
Needs a bit of fresh air on opening to let go of the reduction (2023 vintage!) but highly drinkable and only 12.5% alc, so quite safe.
A nice one for dipping but also holds its own with food.
