DuMOL Chloe Chardonnay '22

This Russian River Valley Chardonnay begins with intoxicating aromas of golden apple, poached pear, and honeysuckle, complemented by nuances of toasted brioche and vanilla bean. The palate is rich yet precise, with a creamy texture balanced by bright acidity, revealing layers of citrus, stone fruit, and a touch of hazelnut that scored 95 points. Aged 11 months in French oak (40% new), it finishes long with a beautiful mineral edge. A stunning expression of California Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with lobster bisque or roasted poultry.
