It was very popular at the dinner, I tasted this on release and it really caught my attention. It was nice but as my Beaujolais experience has expanded, this isn't in my focus right now. Foillard, Breton, Thivin, Dutraive & Roilette are my current passions.

So, grow at high elevation, pick a little earlier and lose the new oak - that's Shiraz that hits my sweet spot. Quiet but elegant, restrained but offering intriguing depth, and closer to St. Joseph than Barossa. Wish there were more Aussie imports like this. — 9 years ago

Domaine de Lancyre

Montferrand Roussanne 2015

Whoa Nellie-aside from fact that Roussanne is not part of my even yearly rotation, let alone white Languedoc wine, this bowled us over with its packed flavors, freshness, acidic backbone, & layers-guessing you could lay it down for 3-5 yrs if not longer. Hay, subtle lanolin ( think Chenin), white flowers. Modest viscosity, pale yellow hue. Very impressive. Hand Picked imports. — 7 years ago

Chardonnay 2016

Greg Ballington
9.2

Second and last of the blind white wines for our South African blind tasting. Relatively new to the US-DC market and brought in by Alyssa and Ian Red Wolf Imports. Made up of 100% Chardonnay, 100% barrel fermented and aged for nine to ten months in around 20% new French oak.

Medium yellow with a touch of oak and butter on the nose. A little bit of citrus too. Medium plus acidity (6.5/10) and rounded with a medium body. A creamy texture and mouthfeel throughout with notes of lemon zest, a touch of stone fruits and minerality. Needed to warm and some time in order to open up and lengthen. Medium plus to long finish. Would be very interesting to try with a couple years in the bottle. Drink till 2026. (92+)
