It was R´s turn to host our monthly tasting and he poured these nice Chardonnay´s. Tasted double blind.
2017 Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay, Racine
A cool, stony nose with notes of white currants, smoke, cinnamon and hay. A fine spicy note.
The taste is young and crisp with a fine acidity and lots of citrus fruits. Long and fine.
90p (tasted 2025/08)
2014 Meursault, Henri Boillot
A deep, stifled nose with notes of ripe peach, sun warm rocks, candle grease and handcream.
