Chalone Chardonnay 2021 750 ml

Description:

The Chalone Estate Vineyard is one of the most remarkable winery properties in California, and the sole winery within the Chalone AVA. The vineyard was planted in 1919, with the production under the Chalone Vineyard brand beginning in 1960. 

Estate Chardonnay first opens with notes of toasted brioche and Meyer lemon, then unfolds hints of vanilla crème soda and slate rock minerality. These flavors carry through to the palate that offers a broad, luxurious mouthfeel with a buttery oak character balanced by vivid acidity and a lifted, elegant finish.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Focused aromas of white flower, cashew cream and coconut flesh doused in lime juice show on the nose of this bottling from the historic estate. Bright acidity and earthy minerality kick off the palate, slicing through the flavors of cut apple and lime.

92 Points - Wilfred Wong

The 2021 Chalone Vineyard Estate Chardonnay is generous and lasting on the palate. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of ripe apples, earthy notes, and toast oak. Try it with grilled skinless chicken thighs in a savory sauce.
