Dried pineapple, apple, lime pie and hints of nuts. Hints of cream too. Full body, dense center palate. Hints of salt and oyster shell here. Complex and subtle. Drink now or hold.

The 2013 Chardonnay La Carrière is unbelievable. Production was almost 900 cases less than in 2014, and you can see it in the concentration of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, white currant, white peach and mineral notes. This magnificent, full-bodied Chardonnay should also last at least a decade.
