This is an excellent Chardonnay that stylistically leans towards Burgundy, achieving a balance between old-school and modern elements. There's oak, but it's subtle. The fruit is present but subdued. Smoke and minerality are also there, but again, everything is calm and harmonious. You'll find notes of lemon, smoke, plums, and a touch of vanilla and butter. The wine evolves beautifully in the glass, showcasing a cool balance. It's relatively lean but has a confident structure鈥攔ounded, fresh, and simply delicious.
