This is my personal favorite of the Chasseur Chardonnays. This seems to be the most balanced of the four Chasseur Chardonnays with lively acid on the finish and the oak is integrated perfectly with the fruit. This is a beautiful, beautiful Chardonnay that would impress lovers of white Burgundy and/or Chardonnay across the country. I'd open this wine on a beautiful, brisk Fall afternoon and pair it with some Humboldt Fog or Brie Cheese and some fresh figs and Charcuterie. Delicious.
Chasseur (French for "Hunter") is dedicated to small lot, hand-crafted wines in the old French tradition with emphasis on vineyard designates. Their small size (about 2,700 cases per year) allows complete control over the winemaking process, enabling them to produce the finest wines the fruit has to offer. They are in an obsessive pursuit of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay's final, and possibly finest, frontier - Sonoma's "West County". Still in its renaissance, this area is composed of the western edge of the Russian River Valley and beyond, known as the "true" Sonoma Coast. The wines are as expressive as they are stunning. Burgundy lovers won't want to miss Chasseur.
