Great old world chardy always seems to carry an air of nobility, for me. It’s not the golden hue – though this has it, so do many other. It’s not the 30% new oak either. If it were just about oak then it’s been outgunned many times. I think it’s the regal bearing; the way it carries itself. The palate shows awesome balance of citrus and stonefruit, with well-judged lees work that gives it a creamy nuttiness. It’s rich, but also structured, like some old palace perched on a hill. It’s a luxurious style, but not obnoxiously so. Think classic French cooking with this one (i.e. buttery leeks galore)!
