NICOLAS-JAY Chardonnay, Willamette Valley 'Bishop Creek' 2018

This racy but elegant Chardonnay from Nicolas-Jay’s Bishop Creek vineyard opens with aromas of ripe peach, tropical pineapple, sage and lightly charred oak. The front pallet hits you with a mouthwatering but rich acidity and flavors of fresh nectarine, lemon peel and roasted hazelnuts. The wine contains 20% new French oak and is reminiscent of a beautiful French Meursault, which coincides with their Burgundian style of wine making. This wine has what it takes to age beautifully for 10 years or more. Only 120 cases made.
