White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View Benoit Hardy's profile Report Issue 12/21/2023 - Benoit Hardy Likes this wine: 95 points Helen Turley is undoubtedly the reference in California when we talk about chardonnay or pinot noir. Incredibly rich nose of pear, beeswax, vanilla and hazelnut. The mouth is exuberant. It’s a sort of Meursault on steroids. We take the Murisalian boldness and add Californian exuberance. This gives an obviously rich wine but its acidic structure gives spring to a kaleidoscopic whole which becomes almost ethereal. It is glycerinated, wet stone, candied pear, citrus, vanilla and honey. Everything is based on an impressive structure. Finish both glycerinated and saline with a length propelled by an acidic touch. An impressive wine, an experience in itself for me who struggles to find happiness in white outside France. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
White	2012 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View VinoGeeko's profile Report Issue 12/8/2023 - VinoGeeko wrote: 95 points Full disclosure: non-blind. And most expensive white I've tasted to date. And note taken on the memory of this pre-Thanksgiving dinner wine. It was the most balanced chardonnay I've ever tasted. It was a hair less bold than a good Aubert/Kistler Chard (at a quarter the price), a tad more "French" in style, but equally as concentrated. And yet even the most devoted burghound couldn't call it overextracted. Its primary flavors are beginning to give way to secondary and tertiary- lovely. It was even good on day 2. Might be worth the cost of admission. To be short (though I've used the word hundreds of times) I think I now know the meaning of "elegant". Bravo! Will drink well thru at least 2030.

White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View scott@asrestaurant.com's profile Report Issue 11/24/2023 - scott@asrestaurant.com Likes this wine: 94 points 2013 vintage. Overtly decadent, überripe and spent when tasting just after decanting. No sediment. Initial temp tasted was at about 60 degrees F. Rated an 8.8/88. Beyond golden color in the decanter. Prepared an ice bucket ice bath with double linen napkins atop the remaining ice and placed the decanter roughly 25% into the ice bath. Let sit for 20-25 mins. Retasted. Wine temp was closer to 45 degrees F. Completely different wine. Tasted like a top-notch, 10 year old Meursault with ridiculous amounts of vanilla bean and crème brûlée. Slight undercurrent of acidity wove the entire endeavor together. Now? A 9.4/94. Not my style but it didn't suck. 11.15.23. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
White	2007 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View cos65's profile Report Issue 11/23/2023 - cos65 Likes this wine: 92 points Bright clear gold Bright pineapple and golden apple flavors with a hint of wood and enough mouthwatering acidity. This particular bottle does have some heat (14.3) poking through, so I would likely drink sooner rather than later. (But this actually continues to improve with air) Do you find this review helpful?

White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View zimmy07's profile Report Issue 11/22/2023 - zimmy07 Likes this wine: 93 points This is good, no where near the best Marcassin Chard I have had. started off orangish and after 2 hours brilliant gold, this needs time. I agree served cold or room temp changes this wine dramatically. At the end all the richness, butter and oak from a classic Maracassin but too damn flabby. No other way to say it. I like the leaner style and that is usually with vintage, but this was so over the top not the biggest fan 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment

White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View rocknroller's profile Report Issue 10/19/2023 - rocknroller wrote: 94 points Judgement of Eagan (Jason P's, St. Paul, MN): Light medium gold color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour plus. Perfumed on the nose, with candied pear, tropical notes, orange and lemon, orange blossoms. On the palate this decadent and rich, soft texture, pear, white pepper, savory, citrus, voluminous, and long. This was excellent, but not quite as good as a couple other even more memorable bottles from recent memory. Big stylistic differences, and I like both a lot, but the nod for me tonight clearly goes to the '10 Bonneau du Martray CC. Group vote was 5-4 for the Bonneau. 2 people found this helpful, do you?

White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View WineBurrowingWombat's profile Report Issue 10/19/2023 - WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 95 points Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: The yellow fruits on this Marcassin are deeper and rounder having it next to the Corton, a touch of deep honey without weighing it down, and dried hay. P: A pleasantly waxy note, yellow and white fruits, a core of honied fruits with the emphasis on the fruits. The honey tastes slightly intense but allows the fruit to still shine. Gorgeous. I definitely enjoyed this closer to cellar temp as it provided more freshness. It got a little too heavy as it came to room temperature. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View smurfmacaw's profile Report Issue 10/29/2023 - smurfmacaw Likes this wine: 98 points Extremely nice. Very pure fruit with almost no oak evident and some tannins. Some caramel notes...Very pure fruit but not a fruit bomb. Everything you would expect from a boutique, high end California chardonnay. Not sure why I rated it a point lower than last time I tried it, maybe just a phase it's going through. Obviously mature and ready to drink...looooooong finish...stays with you forever.

White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine's profile Report Issue 10/19/2023 - I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 97 points Judgement of Eagan Wine Tasting (Jason's House): PnP....What can I say....Marcassin is my favorite Chardonnay producer. I still cannot pay secondary market prices for it, but Marcassin does totally rock! This flight paired this wine against a 2010 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne. Both wines were stellar, and favorites likely came down to individual palates. For me, Marcassin was the better wine, but it was pretty even for the group, with the 2013 Marcassin edging out the 2010 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne. The nuts and bolts: Creamy mouthfeel, with baked pear, apple and some citrus and stone fruit, coupled with hints of saline, butterscotch and toasted oak. Always a pleasure to drink and never disappoints! 97+ tonight! 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
White	2013 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View galewskj's profile Report Issue 10/19/2023 - galewskj wrote: 96 points Judgement of Eagan (Jason's house): Very similar to a bottle a year ago, just a touch subdued this time around. Maybe because it was paired with a 2010 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne. This really was fantastic in a full-bodied california chardonnay well. Unctuous mouthfeel, spicy complexity and enough lime/acid to keep it balanced. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2)

Tropical and orchard fruits on the nose. Peach, pear, guava, mango touch of vanilla. The palate impression is superb great depth and unctuous texture - finish goes on and on.
