Nose
The aroma reveals this is obviously Chardonnay made in an old world style. Sweet barrel spice mixes nicely with a lemon limey note from the fruit.
Palate
It is rich on the palate, and the classic Chardonnay flavors of apple, citrus and vanilla go on and on.
Bottling
Bottled unfiltered.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand harvested, whole cluster pressed (to minimize tannin extraction from the skins), totally barrel fermented in 100% new François Frères barrels.
Aging
Aged for 18 months in 100% new François Frères barrels.
Food Pairing
Seared scallops in butter with a touch of orange, roast chicken with rosemary are just a couple of favorites with this Chardonnay.
