WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Cuvaison 2021 Chardonnay was shaped by an exceptionally dry winter and cool spring, which encouraged a small but robustly concentrated vintage. Delightfully engaging acacia blossom aromatics greet the nose before layers of luscious white peach, apricot, shaved almond and a hint of marzipan unfold on the palate. Luscious stone fruit tones are enhanced by the wine’s full body and bright zest, culminating in a fine, lemony brioche finish.
TASTING NOTES:
This bold, well-oaked and buttery wine fills the mouth with opulent baked apple, poached pear and oak spices like ginger, vanilla and coconut. A full body, posh texture and lingering finish add to its classic appeal.
- Wine Enthusiast, 92 pts.
Notes of peaches and pears with lemon curd, toffee and beeswax undertones. The palate is full and creamy, toned up by crisp, citrusy acidity, with a spicy and nutty finish.
- James Suckling, 91 pts.
Crisp and lively, with terrific persistence to the Meyer lemon, pineapple and green apple flavors at the sleek core, showing salty minerality, a fresh squeeze of lime juice and hints of lemon blossoms on the finish.
- Wine Spectator, 90 pts.
