Winemaker Philippe Melka's Tasting Notes
"This exquisite Burgundian-style 2022 Chardonnay was whole cluster pressed and fermented in French oak barrels for 16 months sur lie with no malolactic fermentation. It has lively aromas of lemon and orange blossom that jump from the glass complemented by light tropical notes and a touch of sweet French barrel oak. Bright acid, great minerality and richness on the palate give way to a hint of lemon curd on the finish."
