Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 90/100

A pretty and notably ripe nose flirts with a touch of exoticism yet remains attractively fresh with cool yellow orchard fruit and floral aromas. There is good verve and reasonably good concentration to the appealingly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess enough depth to be interesting on the moderately firm and persistent finish. As is usually the case this is not a particularly elegant wine though it's by no means rustic either; rather it is frank and bold and I like the overall balance. allen_meadows - burghound_com.com - Jun 2014

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
