Product Description
The Drouhin family brings their storied Burgundian expertise to this estate-grown Chardonnay, creating a masterpiece of balance and poise. This 2024 vintage is a critical standout, earning a stellar 94 points from Wine Spectator and 93 points from James Suckling for its "graceful yet dynamic" energy. By fermenting half the wine in French oak and half in stainless steel, the winemaking team preserves a crystalline acidity while introducing a sophisticated, creamy texture.
On the palate, this wine reveals a vibrant kaleidoscope of Anjou pear, lemon curd, and white peach. Suckling praises its "taut structure" and mouth-filling flavors, which transition seamlessly into a long finish marked by mineral sea salt and toasted vanilla bean. This medium-bodied Chardonnay is celebrated for its "ethereal" weight and refined character, offering an approachable yet complex profile that will reward cellaring for over a decade.
