February 17, 2024 - Disclaimer: we sell this wine.
Very nice Chardonnay BdB rendition. Balanced and elegant nose with pear, ripe lime, crushed stones and some sweet pie spices (cinnamon?). The chalk appears on the palate. Beautiful palate with the same qualifiers: balanced and elegant. Nice citrus acidity and chalky minerality, some fruit on the mid-palate and nice grapefruit/citrus rind bitterness on the medium-plus finish. I'm liking this a lot. -

December 26, 2023 - Imbottigliamento: 21 luglio 2017. Sboccatura: 14 ottobre 2020. 50% di vini di riserva. Colore giallo dorato brillante su tutta la superficie; bolla fine e persistente. A livello olfattivo rivela una grande complessità: note più fresche di agrumi, frutta gialla matura e fiori bianca si intrecciano con sentori più complessi di pasticceria; il legno è presente e si percepisce, ma è ben integrato e mai invadente. In bocca è corposo e maturo, ma elegante ed equilibrato. Finale sapido/minerale lungo.
