S.A.S Prince Charles-Henri de Lobkowicz St. Pourçain Chardonnay Blend 2023

Lyle Fass
9.6

One of my favorite wines ever. Tressalier and Chardonnay blend. Nose is rich and buttery like and old school Meursault but has so much sea air mineral expression it’s unreal. Gorgeous. Palate is stunning if a bit young. This needs air but the bones are there. Juicy, clean, pure, rich, like a Meursault but super fresh and textured. So elegant and dense. What a wine. Let’s see what air does. Getting nutty as well. 9.4 to 9.5 overnight. Stunning today. Fresh, textured and energetic. Icing on cake texture and so pure. Almost a 9.6. — a month ago

Les Maltôtes Ipp13 Chardonnay Tressallier 2023

Nose: intensely mineral. Hints of green apple. Lemon oil. Lifting. White and yellow flowers. There is a purity. An elegance. For me pushes it over the 9.5 bump. Gets to the first tier of profound.

Palate: silky lemon oil. Terrific density. Delicious.

An unknown elite wine. Stock up. A wine to share with geeks.

Is there a better non burg rhone Germany still white?
