Le Clos Jordanne ‘Claystone Terrace’ Chardonnay 2007
VQA Twenty Mile Bench $40.00 (056929) 14.0% alcohol
A powerful expression of Chardonnay, measuring up to the best the wine world offers; it’s simply stunning. This offers a bouquet of alluring aromas with mineral tones, toasty oak and spice-laden orchard fruit to the fore. The palate’s bathed with lip-smacking, spice-infused, apple and nectarine garnished with sweet oak and gorgeous lip-smacking acidity. It’s medium bodied and smooth as silk. Don’t pass this up; drink now or tuck away two years in the cellar; time will add to the lustre. (Vic Harradine)
