Winemaker Notes
A trace of mineral reduction adds breath to the green fruit and floral-scented nose. There is excellent power, size and muscle to the caressing yet quite serious big-bodied flavors that exhibit fine length and complexity if not the refinement of the best of these 1ers.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
