Only 8 to 9 months in French Oak, so the crispness and aromatics of the Chardonnay grape without an overly strong butteriness. Tangy metallic in a pleasant way. Mineral notes.

Barrel aged “sur-lie” in lightly toasted French Oak for 8 months. A leaner, more Burgundian style Chardonnay, as opposed to so many of the plush, oak-marinated New World examples. I definitely get a burst of green apple flavor. Lemon citrus on the back end. A good, not great wine. $29.
