"Freshness, fullness, and length"

A Village wine aged in barrels for 6 months, displaying remarkable consistency throughout the tasting. ” (The Hachette Guide 2023)

James Suckling

Wine rated (2022 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

A complex and sophisticated Chardonnay that manages to display great concentration, despite having an alcohol content of only 12.5%. There is an excellent interplay between the flinty character, the creaminess from aging on the lees, and the elegant citrus acidity. A very long finish with notes of wet stone.
