🏰 The 2021 DuMOL Chardonnay Estate Vineyard is a standout from "one of the greatest of vintages", where the wine has truly evolved to be "expressive of place - of terroir". This dynamic and expressive Chardonnay offers classic aromas of aniseed, sage, spearmint, green apple, and lime fruits, with white flower notes appearing as it airs. The palate is deeply intense, with flavors akin to citrus oil, apricot, and lemongrass, balanced by fine chalky mineral acidity that lifts and extends its long, snappy, clean finish. It has garnered impressive critical acclaim, including 97 points from James Suckling and 96 points from Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck. 【A terroir-driven Chardonnay of exceptional quality, consistently lauded by top critics】. 🍴 This rich and complex Chardonnay pairs beautifully with creamy dishes, roasted poultry, and shellfish like lobster or scallops. Its savory notes also complement fresh herbs, chamomile, and yellow apple flavors, making it suitable for refined vegetarian dishes or classic French cuisine like vol-au-vent. Avoid aggressively seasoned or bitter foods. 🥂 An excellent choice for a celebratory meal, a sophisticated gathering, or as a centerpiece for a wine dinner. It's recommended to decant for an hour in its youth and serve no cooler than 53°F (11.7°C). Drink between late-2023 and 2032.
