Wednesday, January 25, 2023 - So many reviews, many spot on. A few words into the CT spit bucket.
Mouthfeel has more glycerin entry and viscosity than a typical Chablis.. Chardonayian?
Well balanced, don't find acid as worth noting.
There are ample tastes to find from citrus to nuts to minerals and yes fruit.
A wine to bring to a tasting of high end California Chards - what is this? No vanilla, no oak, no alcohol, no buttered popcorn Is this a Chardonnay or a wine? ?

    1/28/2023 8:38:00 AM - • HARVEST: Manual
    • VINIFICATION: Use of the principle of gravity so as to avoid all pumping, which could harm the quality of the
    wine. Brief (1½-2 hours) pneumatic pressing to obtain a gentle separation of the solid and liquid parts of the
    grape. Very light static settling of the juice to preserve enough fine lees so that the alcoholic and malolactic
    fermentations can occur naturally. The must is run in small stainless steel vats. 5% of the harvest is vinified in
    French oak barrels (aged of 6 years in average).
    • MATURING: 10 to 12 months in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness; maturing of 5% of the harvest in
    French oak barrels during 5 to 6 months
