"A selection of the finest barrels of Old Wente clone wines from the Ma Douce and Ma Princesse vineyards, the 2015 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur struts gorgeous ripe pear and warm peach character on the nose with exotic touches of mandarin peel, fresh ginger, star anise, coriander seed and cloves, with touches of toasted cashews and honey-drizzled croissant. Medium to full-bodied, rich, intense and totally decadent even at this youthful stage, it delivers both power and finesse in equal portions, with a silken texture and just enough freshness, finishing with epic length. Mind-blowing. 125 cases made." Wine Advocate #233, Oct 2017 |
