- Expressive and vibrant, our 2021 Chardonnay Arthur opens with a flourish of tart green apple and a focused bouquet of orange blossom and nicely ripe melon. There is lemon zest, honeysuckle, and fresh almonds on the palate, with a note of pear essence on the finish. It is drinking beautifully now with nice balanced acidity and a medium-long finish. Expect great things as it develops over the next 7-10 years.

Our 2021 Chardonnay was hand-picked into small totes, and then whole-cluster pressed. It was partly fermented in French Oak barrels to reveal the complexity of the fruit through the slow breathing process that happens in wood. The rest was fermented and aged in stainless steel to keep the vibrancy and fruitiness. Véronique then blended these two portions to create a wine of a more delicate nature - Arthur. To Véronique, it’s as if one brought together elements of a pure Chablis and an elegant Meursault.
The grapes were whole cluster pressed, and the juice was fermented and aged in a mix of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, with 15% new oak. It was bottled the September following the vintage.
This Chardonnay is dense yet understated, with &oral, pear, quince, and spice aromas leading to a neat, vibrant palate
