Chamonix Chardonnay 2007 from cool climate, high elevation fruit out of Franschhoek
Tasting
Notes
1/10/09
Sourced from the higher slopes overlooking the Franschhoek Valley, Chamonix’s 2007 Chardonnay deftly balances cool climate fruit with perfect oak integration. Bright and lively with a hint of spice from the oak this has lovely precision with some nice textural roundness to the palate. The end result is a wine with engaging citrus fruit with a slightly creamy edge to the finish. Just now starting to open up this should drink nicely over the next couple of years.

4 Stars (****) 2009 Platter
07's lemon/mandarin notes & creamy finish just caressed by spicy oak; 3.8g/l RS rounds off the appeal
