On the nose, enticing aromas of summer yellow plum, crushed almond, brioche flakes and wet stone give way to high-toned notes of honeysuckle blossom. On the palate, this wine expresses purity and tension. The entry is very fresh and inviting and highlights the wonderful creaminess that comes from nine months of intermittent bâtonnage. Beautiful minerality frames crisp green apple with alluring hints of citrus skin and dried chamomile petal. This Chardonnay will drink gracefully over the next 5-8 years.
