2021 Cloisonne Chardonnay

2021 Cloisonne Chardonnay

2021 Cloisonne Chardonnay This Chardonnay exudes a luxurious bouquet of ripe apples, pears, and tropical fruit, underscored by subtle nuances of vanilla and toast as a result of careful oak ageing. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, offering a rich, creamy texture that’s beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity. This leads to a long, elegant finish that underscores the wine’s complexity and finesse.

Golden yellow in color. Rich aromas of granny smith apple, white flowers and  citrus notes. Silky texture with flavors of  apple, citrus, minerality and a wisp of oak. Finishes with a full and lingering expression of Chardonnay. Winemaker

David Rossi is a winemaking savant. Famous for his world class Pinot Noirs from some of the greatest Pinot single vineyards, he is making some incredible small batch wines from all over California. To find the kind of quality he demands he can only find small amounts of grapes from very specific vineyard sites and today I bring you an Alexander Valley Chardonnay that will absolutely blow you away and yes its priced under $20 a bottle. The 2021 Cloisonne Chardonnay is sourced from sites that go into the likes of Jordan Chardonnay and Matanzas Creek, wines that sell for $30 to $50 a bottle. The Cloisonne is hard core Chardonnay, perfectly rich and round with excellent fruit concentration, an excellent bouquet and a finish that’s long and cashmere smooth. Cloisonne is the art of combining bronze, enamel and painting techniques to create sophisticated, ornate surfaces, serves as the inspiration behind each bottle of Cloisonne wine. We combine a deep sense of place, confident vision and brilliant command of craft to produce truly memorable wines. This is a top 5 Chardonnay we have offered this year under $25. 2021 is a standout vintage and again very limited and will sell out fast….
