Expert opinion

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
Vinous A. Galloni
Wine rated (guide 2023) 92/100
About the wine:
The 2019 Chardonnay is full, firm and rigorous. It's tasty in its youth, with fine notes of toast and smoky bacon complementing the subtle fruit flavors. This is not a shy, reserved Chardonnay.
