89/100 45

A Chardonnay dominant blend with Pinot Noir that’s spent at least three years on the yeast lees. An oxidative style with strong aldehydic, bready, yeasty aromas. The Pinot Noir component asserts itself giving richness, weight and a hint of chocolate box character. A complex and stylish wine that will appeal to lovers of this style although I find it a touch too aldehydic.
