2024 "Belle de jour" Chardonnay

Donnachadh Vineyard

The 2024 Belle de Jour draws from the new organic Donnachadh Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills. It opens with Meyer lemon zest, yellow apple, white peach, and lychee accented by chamomile, jasmine, and oyster shell salinity. Silky and satin-like, the palate offers red and golden apple, apricot, Asian pear, and lemon-lime brightness with clean minerality. The finish is long, creamy, and precise. Expressive and high-quality with true site purity and artisanal balance. - Paul Lato
