The 2014 Chardonnay La Carrière displays ripe, honeyed tangerine and nectarine notes, some wet pebbles and crisp acids. As Nicholas Morlet says, this wine is the Puligny-Montrachet of the portfolio.
This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
