Bright gold in the glass, the wine opens with green apple, honeysuckle and orange blossom. ̃e citrus in particular seems to be most evident, as lime leaf and lemon zest at this stage. ̃is vintage was more classic rather than overly ripe, so it’s not surprising. ̃ere’s a hint of fresh wood and vanilla as well, adding some nuance without overshadowing the beautiful floral character.

Critical Acclaim

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2020 Chardonnay was released in October 2022. As usual, it's a non-malolactic fermentation wine, matured in a relatively small proportion of new French oak, and so it reveals hints of apple, tangerine and lime on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it's sappy, a bit linear and vibrant on the palate, finishing crisp and long.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU. Any significant condition issues, such as low ullage or bin-stained labels, will be clearly noted in the product description. We are happy to provide additional high-resolution images upon request-please contact us.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
