Tasting note
This dry, full-bodied and woody white displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and full-bodied texture precede a long finish.
The 2007 Estate Chardonnay has a wonderful nose that has you instantly hooked, capturing the essence of a Meursault with hints of roasted almonds and smoke. The palate is very well balanced, very clean on the entry but building nicely to a weighty, honeyed middle with touches of almond, hazelnut, lemon and spice.
Like Burgundy? You'll love this, lovely texture, finesse and pedigree and a great price! (December 2013 Insider Pick by Kim Giesbrecht, Portfolio Manager for Beer, Refreshment Beverages, Australia and New Zealand Wines) Wine Spectator 2013 Top 100 Wines. This wine shows a wonderful balance between crisp, steely notes of citrus, pear, and green apple and complex flavour nuances with floral, lime peel and tobacco details.
