Chardonnay 2020/2021, Château Montelena #Allocation and I urge you to

and I urge you to deploy it at every gathering where you serve these fantastic wines (I will be doing so)

Love to taste it now but needs at least five or six years

and is aged in old oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling

The 2011 exhibits a proper balance between intense flavours of black fruit

40% Carignan

Chardonnay 2020/2021, Château Montelena #Allocation and I urge you to13. 6% ABV "Chateau Montelena's 2018 Chardonnay is bright and finely sculpted, with terrific energy driving the citrus and floral flavors. Blocking malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors brisk. This cool site in Oak Knoll suits the Montelena style very nicely. Readers who enjoy focused Chardonnays will find plenty to like. This is an especially fine vintage for the Montelena Chardonnay. Drink 2020 2028." 92 Antonio Galloni, vinous. com, September
