Chardonnay V.V. 2023

Chardonnay VV 2023
Wine description & food pairing: 

(Notes for vintage 2020)

This Chardonnay lits the glass with a crystal clear, golden yellow colour and dense texture. We observe slowly slipping tears along the walls of the glass.

Alluring and refined aromas are reminiscent of pineapple slices, quince and yellow apple, lemon zest, honey, yellow rose petals, straw, wild mint, pan brioche, vanilla and almonds.

A dry expression of Chardonnay leaving a soft and reasonably warm touch. It refreshes our palate pleasantly, leaving a mineral touch, with slight astringency resulting in a slightly spicy finish.

A wine of nobility, with an adolescent spirit that shows its ageing potential. It boasts a long persistency and an intense, harmonious taste with flavours of apple, quince, lemon zest and butteriness in the finish.

A wine that we enjoy now, but it clearly shows he has a long journey ahead. It will greatly accompany dishes of cured meat, beef carpaccio, braised chicken, but also grilled tuna or salmon.
