Crafted with 100% Chardonnay that was partially barrel fermented and then aged for 54 months on the lees, it has an elegant, complex, and highly aromatic nose of citrus, lemon, smoky, flint, autolytic, biscuit, ripe apple and pear aromas. It's medium-full bodied and dry on the palate with lovely smoky, clayey, earthy flavours mingling with lemony citrus and peach notes. It has crisp, clean acidity and a fine, beaded mousse. The finish is long, clean, and fresh. Tasted Apr. 2023.
