This Chardonnay flirts with perfection. It offers a level of intensity and precision usually reserved for top level Meursaults. The bouquet is simply gorgeous, loaded with citrus, pear, and spring flowers. The palate is deftly balanced, displaying layers of pure fruit around a core of minerality. It culminates in a finish that is just snappy enough that begs for another sip. This is a high water mark for domestic Chardonnay. It should age beautifully for another 5-7 years, but no need to wait.
