VinousNeal Martin
The 2022 Chardonnay Reserve comes from the estate. It is whole-bunch-pressed and aged in 20% new oak for 11 months, including one 5,100-liter foudre. Just 18% goes through malo. It has a perfumed bouquet with yellow fruit, brioche and saffron, opening nicely with aeration. The palate is fresh and taut with lively acidity, lime and orange pith intermixed with light lemon rind note towards the finish. The partial malo works to its advantage, imparting decent tension and gaining length on the finish. Worth seeking out.
