critic reviews
The 2022 Chardonnay Cuvée Anne slowly evolves in the glass, slightly reductive, with a whiff of crushed rocks giving way to rosemary and freshly sliced apricot. This washes across the palate with a flinty sensation as mineral-inflected fruits cascade throughout. The 2022 leaves a lingering concentration, punching well above its class. It finishes long, savory, and nearly salty with a citrus tinge.
The 2022 Chardonnay Cuvee Anne comes from several vineyards (Justice, Koosah, Sojeau and Witness Tree) located on both volcanic and marine sedimentary soils. It was fermented and aged in 45% new, 350- and 500-liter barrels for 12 months, plus an additional four months in stainless steel. The nose presents deep, savory scents of matchstick, roasted almonds, honey, pastry and golden apples. The light-bodied palate offers concentrated flavors that are more open and expansive than the nose at this stage. It has a seamless spine of acidity that drives its flavors into a long finish and calls you back for another sip. Give it 23 years in bottle or a few hours in a decanterit opens dramatically with air. 750 cases were made.
