    An unusual Chardonnay produced from Cahors vineyards, this is an obviously wood-aged wine. Spice and toast are dominant at this stage and show that this rich wine needs time to allow the ripe tropical fruits to come through. Drink from 2016.

    Ripe, creamy wood aged wine, this is rich and smoothly textured. It has weight, apple and pear flavors. Full in the mouth, it may be missing out on the freshness in favor of power.

  • 201089 pts

    An attractive, rich and creamy Chardonnay, this balances acidity with tropical fruit and wood flavors. Made using fruit from a parcel in the Haute-Serre Vineyard, this is a wine that has an edge of minerality as well as ripe, textured fruit.
