  Smells and Tastes like a 1cru Puligny from a decent producer. Nose in particular is convincing. This wine is their premium chard from standard… which is also very good. Notes from the producer are fairly accurate
  …….notes of gun smoke and struck match, complemented by white peach and nectarine. Wholemeal, cracked pepper and savoury notes add to the complexity of this wine. Grapefruit and lime notes give the palate poise and restraint and complement the hints of French oak.

  yellow gold hue. intense flavours combined with nutty, spicy, oak, vanilla and brioche. full body, round and creamy texture, solid acidity. rich and completed structure. long finish with slightly sea salt mineral and yeasts notes. will integrate better in the next 3-5 years.
  
  A serious Chardonnay, opulent, intense and complex. consistently gold winner in NZ local wine competitions.
  
  NZWR 94, Marlborough Wine Show - Trophy, National Wine Awards of Aotearoa New Zealand (previously Roayl Easter Show) - Wine of the Show.
  
  Ap 5/5, Ar 13/15, Palate 18/20, Overall 5+3/10
