“A great introduction to this delightful wine—don’t miss out!”

“The 2022 Arbois Chardonnay offers notes of lemon zest, candle wax, and yellow apple, all of moderate intensity. White almond adds a hint of hazelnut complexity. More captivating on the palate than on the nose, the 2022 finishes with an elegant and lively aftertaste.” (Vinous 2024)

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on January 6, 2026

A lovely, well-rounded, and balanced wine, but I'm having a hard time identifying the Chardonnay grape variety
