CLENDENEN FAMILY VINEYARDS Chardonnay 'Le Bon Climat' 2010

This is a dazzling Chardonnay from legendary California winemaker Jim Clendenen. The wine is simply stunning with seductive aromas of citrus peel, flinty minerals, burnt sulfur, white flowers, buttered almond, smoke, lemon oil and honeysuckle that instantly win you over. It continues to impress on the palate with its deep, full-bodied and very suave personality, striking minerality and incredible energy on the chiseled finish. This is a brilliant wine which is drinking well now, but can last another decade or more. (Best 2015-2025) - May, 2015 (JD)
