Description
The 2022 Chardonnay La Carriere displays a youthful medium yellow color with a light haze. It comes from the poorest and steepest single blocks of the property, with a 45% grade slope, and though the vines look young, they are now over 30 years old. The wine is open and inviting on the nose with aromas of poached pear, honeycomb, preserved citrus lemon confit, graham cracker, and meringue. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, with a gorgeous and weightless texture. It has a haunting feel and will likely be a wine that gains some weight and density over time. It’s beautiful now, though, with a lovely hint of spice lasting on the finish.
