Featuring the captivating elegance of a Montrachet combined with big rich tropical fruit, this wine truly elevates Chardonnay to the upper echelon of collector white wines. Deliciously smooth notes of honeysuckle, poached pear, brioche, and white currants are present in this wine, which also exhibits some citrus oil and a subtle influence of new oak. Launching forth with notes of honeysuckle and toasty brioche, the palate features poached pear, white peach with some oily citrus and tropical fruit (primarily pineapple) that jumps from the glass of this powerful, broad, but beautifully layered wine that is harmonious and pure and silky smooth. This thriller effort may be enjoyed now or anytime over the next 3 – 5 years.-
