Tasting Notes
On the palate
Vintage 2023
Fermented in and aged for 18 months in neutral oak, this Chardonnay balances vibrant acidity with a creamy, layered texture. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and nectarine lead into flavors of underripe mango and honeysuckle. Subtle notes of brioche and crème brûlée emerge on the palate, adding warmth and depth to the wine's long, elegant finish.
