2016 Rhys Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard

My first impression was that this was over the hill. Gold colored with oxidative notes.
After 30 minutes open:
Nose has a heavy lemon/cinnamon/honey note that isn’t bad but is unexpected.
Palate is rich, viscous, and full body. I have a hard time believing the 12.7% abv on the label.
Acidity seems low but not to the point of flabby.
Overall I’d say this is disappointing.
Purchased directly from the winery and stored in a temperature controlled cellar at 57 degrees since then.

Brought one home for the family
Nose grassy, rich, dense, enticing
Palate is crisp, decently complex with a crisp, dry finish

2020 Domaine du Nozay Vin de France La Roseraie

Nose has some weight to it. guava, rich yellow notes, maybe lemon compote, I want to sip it.
Palate is rich, layered, complex, touch of heat but not distracting, long luxurious finish.
I like it but I think the Froide is the better wine from this maker.
