2011 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard

Took the advice from Wetlaufer and stood this up for 24 hours. Makes a real difference and highly recommended for these wines even the fine sediment muddies the flavors. Great color and intensity for a 13 year old CA Chardonnay. Great texture and tone on the palate and gains depth over the two hours of drinking.

Boy, this is not our style of chardonnay. Deep yellow with butterscotch, caramel, rich vanilla nose more reminiscent of dessert. Forced myself to continue drinking though did improve -- a bit -- over time. This is not the Marcassin of 90s and 00s.

Pegged easily as domestic white, most likely from Napa. Dark, rich and tropical. Interesting wine in the lineup.

Eyes Wide Shut - Day 1 (A quiet place): Nose: Dark gold pineapples, deep fruitful grass, and subtle hay.

Palate: Rich fruits of deep pineapples with a bit of guava, providing a bit of unripe prickliness in a good way. While rich, this has a bit of elegance and good acidity to keep this moving. Spiced oak gets pronounced with a bit more time.

The Blind Side - no, not football! (Chateau Simms): This was opened for about an hour prior to tasting.

It was in a line up of Chardonnays served blind (including some Burgundies):

1. 2013 Marcassin
2. 2019 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère
3. 2018 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge
4. 2021 Faiveley Bâtard-Montrachet
5. 2022 Walter Scott Chardonnay X-Novo Vineyard
6. 2020 Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne

2013 Marcassin - The wine was easily identified as CA Chardonnay by everyone. The wine was rich, buttery, with nice minerality (saline and chalk), citrus and pear notes and some oak and butterscotch on the finish. At 11 years old, this wine is nicely integrated and drinking quite well. Should hold up quite a bit longer, so no hurry on these! Solid 97 for me, and I feel that may be conservative. This is one of my all time favorite Chardonnays from anywhere, and my favorite American Chardonnay. I wish they would get to their next release!

VINTAGE 2010 Dinner (Galletto Ristorante, Modesto Ca.): Love me some Marcassin! Sometimes you need a little wood spice in your life! After drinking all those Chablis and Burgs, I do miss drinking these. The 10 is wonderful! Rich and full of butter sauteed apples and apricots...lemon squeeze, citrus oil, pineapple, lifts it nicely. SO much complexities of smoked vanilla bean, toasted campfire marshmallows, butterscotch spice...plenty crushed rock minerality...flint strike...all well in balance, and a delectable mouthful of goodness!

PnP. Medium gold. Intense nose of tropical and orchard fruits. On the palate this has excellent depth of flavor with pear, peach, and other stone fruits. Perhaps a bit soft on the finish to balance the intensity of the fruit. Lovely wine though perhaps not at the top of the Marcassins I've had.

2008 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard

Sonoma Coast more

3/2/2024 - brigcampbell wrote: NR

There was concern that this bottle might be overdue, one from the same purchase it was already smoked. Fairly deep gold colored with some browning. Thankfully this bottle was in decent shape and the fruit was holding up. Had a nice balance with the oak, which seems to be fairly aggressive originally, and that medium plus weight. Very slick on the palate.

I'd drink them up.

Pop and pour into a decanter - 30-60 minutes would have been preferable, but this was a last-minute decision to add to the evening's lineup. In the decanter, slightly cloudy pale gold; in the glass, clear pale gold. On the nose, Meyer lemon, followed by a shifting mix of spices - nutmeg, cardamom, thyme, and a hint of clove. On the palate, a mouth-filling oily texture, delivering a foundation of fruit (more Meyer lemon, apples), upon which the spices and herbs come in and out of focus. Class.

A perfectly developed wine. It's so beautiful. The mouth and nose are completely satisfying. It reminds me of DRC Montrachet.

Continues to drink beautifully! Delicious ripe fruit and floral notes on the nose and palate with silky smooth texture and oaky notes culminating in a long finish.

Decanted about 30 minutes but drank slowly over the next hour or so. Did a blind side by side with a 13 Domaine Serene Recolte. In the glass, a beautiful medium yellow going towards fresh hay. The Recolte was much darker. On the nose, plenty of oak, lemon and tropical notes that continued to evolve with time in the glass. Beautiful juice and a long delicious finish. One of the best Chardonnay's I have ever had.

Had in a restaurant over Xmas! Excellent - well balanced, some tropical fruit coming through. Less overtly rich than the 2013s we have had.

With Dungeness Crab….
Much like my last review but a slight step back.
Followed over 2 1/2 hours. Great salinity, tension and acidity and worked well with food but has lost some fruit and become slightly bitter. Some Tarragon.The freshness saves this.1 bottle left. Drink up?

Rumors of this wine’s death are greatly exaggerated. My bottle had been very well stored. It was certainly mature and might have been better a year or two ago. I see no reason to hold it further. But it was smooth and still had fruit. Don’t despair, but do drink up. Enjoy.

Served with appetizers (cheese / olives). Gold color with no real sediment. On nose, butter, lemon, floral and vanilla - not overdone. On palate, similar flavor profile to nose ex. vanilla. Medium body/acidity and no noticeable tannins (as expected). Long finish. Has aged beautifully. At this price point I'd prefer a Grand Cru Burgundy but this is a very nice bottle of wine. 93+/-

Consistent with previous tasting notes - we did the wine no favors by serving it with boldly seasoned vegetables and fish. Still clearly a wine of class, but, if I had to do it again, and having experienced this wine when it shows at its peak, I'd pair it with something milder, so that the full spectrum of floral, herbal, and spice aromatics and flavors present themselves clearly.

Good balanced Sonoma Chardonnay — lightly buttery and creamy and fresh fruit notes and a hint of green that brings it together. That said … I don’t see what the fuss is. It’s a good Chardonnay but I don’t see the hype — eg Aubert wowed me a lot more (or the Marcassin Pinot, for that matter)
