We sought to produce a terroir driven Chardonnay wine with minerality and subtlety made simply in neutral French puncheons and barrique: designed for pleasure, uniqueness, and food. The 2010 retains the structure achieved in 2009, but with added elements of texture and richness in addition to an increase in fruit concentration such as lemon, mandarin, and lychee. The mineral character of the finish is accented by hints of anise that is carried along a nice lengthy finish. The cool, long 2010 vintage was excellent for Chardonnay, and this Nancie is no exception!
