"The 2012 Chardonnay Ma Douce reminds me of a classic Bùtard-Montrachet produced by Michel Niellon in the mid-1980s. Lots of brioche, honeysuckle, caramelized citrus and buttery pear notes are found in this long, full-bodied, beautiful white. Ripe and full-bodied with terrific acidity as well as freshness, this cuvée comes from a vineyard planted at a 1,300 foot elevation, and was bottled with indigenous yeast fermentation and no fining or filtration."
