Truchard Chardonnay 2023 (750ml)

Description

Winemaker Notes

Floral aromas of pineapple, quince, and honeysuckle; with a touch of nutmeg, fig, and toasted oak. The mouth is clean and bright; filled with flavors of green apple, fresh pear, and Meyer lemon. Firm acidity provides a crisp finish of citrus, mineral, and spice.

Professional Ratings

• 92James SucklingLemon balm, orange blossoms and lime curd on the nose. The palate is focused, with a full-bodied mouthfeel and integrated acidity, giving notes of grapefruit sherbet, graham crackers and river stones. Very well balanced and energetic.
• 90Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

  Truchard’s 2023 Chardonnay is loaded with scents of spicy oak, pear and melon, plus hints of citrus and sweet corn. All barrel fermented in one-third new French oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, plump, rounded and generous but balanced, silky and flat-out satisfying.

• 90Wine SpectatorShows a supple, elegant mix of orange blossom and creamsicle flavors, with notes of mango, tangerine, lemon zest and dried apricot. The intensity of flavor is matched by the rich body and fresh thread of acidity. Drink now. 6,000 cases made.
