Tasting Notes

Richard Kershaw blocked the malolactic fermentations on his Elgin Chardonnay to preserve acidity in a warm vintage. Made from nine different vineyards, this is still a comparatively ripe, textured style, more Meursault than Puligny-Montrachet perhaps, with buttery lees, some nectarine and citrus fruit and subtle wood. Drink 2020-24
