92pts Vinous 

The 2024 Chardonnay Barrel-Fermented is raised in 28% new French oak barrels from Burgundy cooperages, where the wine is raised on the lees for nine months, with SO2 added only at racking. This has a beautifully defined, classy and yes, quite Burgundian bouquet with hints of tropical fruit and crushed stone. The palate is nicely controlled, cut in a linear style like Jordan's Chenins, fresh and tensile, with understated leesy/brioche notes towards the finish. But it is the acidity that drives this. Excellent.

91pts Wine Enthusiast 

Bright aromas of fresh citrus, green apple, lemon balm, flint, and cut white flowers drive the nose of this Chardonnay. The palate delivers bright acid and pithy mouthfeel, with flavors of tart pineapple, Anjou pear, as well as fresh herbs and florals across the long, lifted finish.

91pts James Suckling 

Toasted almonds, flint, apricots and buttered toast on the nose, followed by a full-bodied and lightly buttery but fresh palate. Sustainable. Delicious now. Screw cap.

Winemaker Notes

The 2024 Jordan Chardonnay evokes balance and elegance, with a captivating nose layered with hints of lemon zest and tangerine, followed by an expressive palate with notes of Asian pear and Meyer lemon. Greater clonal diversity in this vintage brings more nuance and consistency, along with a distinct river rock minerality that carries through the finish.
