What to Expect
Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.
Winemakers Notes
Terroir-driven minerality remains the signature of this vineyard,
with aromas of crushed stone, lily, hazelnut and sweet pear. Touches
of mandarin orange, acacia, honey and sweet vanilla complete
the elegant bouquet. Notes of citrus oils, white peaches and lemon
highlight the minerality. Rich, intense, and sculpted, presenting
wonderful concentration and elegance on the palate, its bright
acidity and minerality will allow it to age well over the next 10
years, much like its Burgundian cousins from Puligny-Montrachet.

Reviews Add a Review
Rating: 93(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 120, May/June 2005 ($70; 15.2% alcohol) Clearer light yellow color. Dee p aromas of apricot, citrus skin, nutmeg and crushed stone. Juicy, stony and firmly built, if youthfully tight. Very pure, vibrant, precise flavors of minerals and candied lime and lemon. Finishes extremely dry and minerally, with terrific grip and some youthful austerity. Some of the best blocks of this vineyard went into the Point Rouge bottling in 2003.
