A fine Chardonnay indeed. Balancing the border between mouth coating and citrus bright. Age-able for the cellar, satisfying for today.

Exactly what a Chard should be... Smooth, yet not overly buttery and very little oak.

Stunning! Impressive focus on tannin/mouthfeel balance. Grapefruit pulp, lemon curd, navel orange rind. Reminiscent of great Puligny. I would guess the peak window will be small and within 2-3 years.

A really fresh, vibrant chard with minimal oak profile at 8 years. En mag and a welcome quaff in the 95 degree heat
