2019 Cuvée Lunatique Chardonnay
The Cuvée Lunatique is a fresh and clean Chardonnay that is made in a style similar to the white wines of the Mâcon in Burgundy. To preserve its bright fruit and crisp structure, it is produced mostly in stainless steel, with no malolactic fermentation. A part of this cuvée was matured in a large, neutral oak cask to give it a bit more mid-palate texture, but still does not impart any oak taste to the wine.

Aromas of sweet lemon and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with pleasant mineral character. Ripe citrus and a hint of stone fruit on the palate. Refreshing tannins on the finish. Drink or hold.

This neatly matches firm acids to a creamy base, with orange creamsicle flavors. A mix of orange, tangerine, lemon and lime flavors, it has seen no new oak, ensuring that the fruit is the star. Paul Gregutt
