This Chardonnay delivers a lot of complexity and character. Well-balanced for an oaky Chardonnay, this creamy wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation giving it a very rich and luxurious mouthfeel. This wine has some cinnamon and baked apple pie flavors. 14 months in 33% new French oak from Burgundy gives this wine a nice clean backbone. Very drinkable and food friendly. For anyone who wants to test the waters of truly great (and ageable) Chardonnay, this is the wine.
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.
