Bouchaine Chardonnay ‘22

A vibrant expression of Carneros terroir, this 2021 Chardonnay from Bouchaine Vineyards balances richness with freshness. Aromas of ripe pear, Meyer lemon, and toasted almond lead to a palate layered with vanilla bean, crème brûlée, and a hint of wet stone. Fermented in French oak (20% new), it offers a creamy texture lifted by bright acidity. Aged sur lie for 10 months, the wine finishes with a touch of spice and citrus zest. Pair with roasted chicken, lobster bisque, or creamy pasta. A testament to cool-climate California Chardonnay.
