USA : CALIFORNIA : RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
Chardonnay
MED-BODIED, WHITE NECTARINE, MEYER LEMON, CREAM, BRIOCHE, NEUTRAL OAK
Russian River Valley Chardonnay at its most characteristic: cool mornings from the Petaluma Gap, stone fruit and citrus on the nose, a rich mid-palate from lees contact, and the acidity to keep it moving. Small production, winemaker Laurent Montalieu.
The 2023 vintage was one of the latest harvests in recent memory — a cool, slow season that ran nearly a month behind schedule and rewarded patience with exceptional fruit integrity and natural balance.
PAIRINGS :
| Butter-poached halibut | the wine's cream and lemon echo the butter and citrus; an RRV Chardonnay classic |
| Roasted chicken with tarragon cream | the lees-derived texture holds up to cream sauce; acidity keeps it from feeling heavy |
| Dungeness crab with drawn butter | Pacific coastal pairing — sweet crab and brioche notes meet in the same register |
