About the wine
Tasting notes
Rich with pristine fruit, powerfully mineral and as elegant as it gets, this is an absolute knockout! Aromas and flavours of yellow apples, white peach and with firm acidity and layered minerality. Aging in 30% new Burgundian oak lends notes of vanilla and toast.

Expert review
A more elegant if vaguely exotic nose features notes of white peach, spice and lemon confit. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors display good muscle and power on the stony, chalky and sneaky long finish. Note that this lovely effort is sufficiently tightly wound to require at least 5 years of keeping and should reward up to a decade of it. Drink from 2028+.
Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
