Novellum Chardonnay 2006
 |
|
BN#202055 |
The vinification technique leads to a Chardonnay with
exotic aromas of honeysuckle and peach. Novellum is
a custom cuvee for Eric Solomon.
Wine Advocate
Jean-Marc Lafage and his importer are rendering a huge service to consumers with several white cuvees that represent outstanding values. His 2006 Novellum Chardonnay comes from 25 year-old vines on ocean-viewing schiste and chalk and delivers lovely apple, pineapple, clover and herbal aromatics, a juicy, fresh fruit cast yet also creamy texture from the working of its lees in tank, and a finish with a balance of fruit, flower, herb and mineral that many a Macon selling for half-again as much would envy.
Score: 87.
