Review Detail
2012 Picardy Chardonnay
Wine Rating
95
A lightly golden yellow in the glass, the nose gives creamy white peach and nougat with a touch of flint.
As is the case with any very good Chardonnay, the wine presents itself in layers that unfold to provide a complete and considered wine.
Plush vanillin oak wraps itself around white peach that gives way to a textural grip, oak induced spice and grapefruit acidity that cuts through the wines richer components.
There is almost a smoked almond character to finish alongside precise stone fruits on the long finish.
