The ‘Les Cailles’ from Soliste is a simply fantastic Burgundian style Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. The wine was fermented in concrete eggs imported from Burgundy for 11 months prior to being transferred to 100% neutral French oak and aged for an additional 11 months. The wine itself offers seductive aromas of fresh white flowers, citrus, peach, quince, Asian pear, hazelnut and fresh minerals. It is pure, focused and elegant with a lively acidity keeping it balanced through the finish. This demands a minimum 2-3 years in the cellar and can be enjoyed for the next 15 years.
