The 2004 Chardonnay Reserve was the best of the Chardonnays I tasted from St. Jean. A beautiful wine exhibiting sweet buttery popcorn intermixed with tropical fruits, peach, and nicely integrated, subtle wood, it is a medium to full-bodied, fresh, pure, lively white that should drink well for 4-5 years.

Chateau St. Jean continues to teach Chard wannabes how the game is played. This is a huge wine, but one of extraordinary finesse and interest. One reason is winemaker Margo van Staaveren’s instinct for controlled tension. Another is the winery’s access to fruit from throughout the county. Rich and opulent and powerful, this Chardonnay is, in a word, great.——S.H.(11/1/2007)—— 95
