This top-tier chardonnay is precise, intense and rippling with concentration and nerve. Fresh-cut new French oak offers aromas of grilled hazelnuts, vanillin and spice with nougat and ripe pears, grapefruit citrus and florals - very complex. The palate has fine - etched acidity and savoury nutty barrel - fermentation flavours. A piercing and linear wine with restrained grapefruit flavour, finishing crisp and mouth-wateringly fresh.
