The 2012 Chardonnay Estate Grown comes from 62 percent Dijon clone planted in 1994 and 1999, with a block of Wente selection planted in 1977. Picked October 2-13, it is whole-cluster pressed and fermented in used puncheons, 228-liter and 3,000-liter foudre going through complete malolactic fermentation. It has a well-defined, focused and harmonious bouquet with citrus lemon, mandarin and light sea spray scents. The palate is fresh on the entry with well-judged acidity, harmonious in the mouth with dried honey and dried quince on the finish. This is a delightful, straight-down-the-line, delicious Chardonnay.
