3 | Wine | France Misc, 2010

"Firm, dense and chewy, displaying concentrated beef and dark plum flavors. Mineral and spice fill the pure finish, which features cocoa notes."

"A deep ruby color. Aromas of dark fruit. Intense, smooth tannins. After 5 or 6 years of aging, the wine will develop notes of leather, forest-floor and small red fruit."

"A fascinating and head-turning amalgam of citrus, apple, and resinous herbs, with saliva-inducing, sweet and saline savor that seems to marry elements of oyster liquor and fresh scallop. Grown in the commune of Brery on chalky soils reminiscent of those in Chateau Chalon, this Chardonnay of refined texture, subtly complex, and combining richness with lift, is likely to merit a decade if not longer attention span."
