"A truly great Chardonnay, this 2005 reminds me of a fabulous Corton-Charlemagne from Coche-Dury. It reveals a greenish tint to its light straw color as well as a layered, honeyed nose dominated by scents of orange blossoms, white currants, lemon curd, green apple skins and a hint of hazelnuts. The oak influence is extremely subtle, and the wine possesses fabulous intensity and vibrant acidity, delineation and brightness."

The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
