2019 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay

Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Tuesday, January 10, 2023 - color: bright golden hay, fading around the rims. tears seem quite sticky, indicating a high alcohol
nose: buttery entry, some crisp citrus. notes of brioche, cheese, melon. also alcohol stands out a bit at the end.
palette: bold and complex, smooth mouthfeel. high acidity. less dominated by oak compared to the nose. some minerality and stone fruit, more tropical fruit is also present.

Overall, solid and interesting but I sadly felt that it doesn't meet its fame, or at least not my style of chardonnay.
