94pts James Suckling

Complex aromas of preserved lemons, lanolin, beeswax and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamy texture and laserlike acidity, showing creme brulee, yellow apples and orange blossoms. Well-balanced and stylish.

Winemaker Notes

Chalk Hill's 2023 Estate Chardonnay offers a beautiful bouquet of apple pie, baked bread, pear, peach, honeysuckle, flint, and vanilla. The palate displays excellent weight and creamy smooth texture with crème brûlée, pineapple, baked tart, and nutmeg carrying it through the finish.
