Balanced taste with thick mouth feel.
Scents of cheesecake sweetness , lemon and oak.
The flavours citrus + honeydew melon are harmonious leads to a reduction in sweetness and cleanses with hint of straw and minerality of the riverstones🥂 — 7 years ago

New world Chablis emulation but with a little more ripe fruit character and butter notes. Butter mochi, ripe green apple, cooked apples. Really tart finish with duality if fruit character. 0 new oak usage in this wine, fermented in used oak barrels and battonage for a year. Not your typical Napa chardonnay by any means but elegant and pretty. Perfumed and pretty. — 8 years ago

Rich in aroma, flavor, and texture. The oak was there but what caught my attention more was the white floral and lychee notes. On the palate it's dense, extremely pure, with a huge finish that shows acidity buried down deep in the wine. Great stuff if you can try it, a benchmark from one of the greatest sites in Condrieu! — 10 years ago

Had this about a year ago. After stints at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill and Matanzas Creek, winemakers David Ramey and his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996. Sunshine Straw with aromas of stone and tropical fruit with sweet vanilla oak scents. On the palate apple, peach and apricot flavors, citrus zest with toasty oak. Lingering on a smooth finish ending with creamy notes. Delicious! Aged well. You can still find the 2014, so grab one, you won’t be disappointed. — 8 years ago

Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 11 years ago

Tefethen '85. Napa Chard the way it's meant to be. Thank you to my New Year's Eve guests for some sexy awesomeness. Pairs well with dill-scented farro veggie stew. — 13 years ago

K&L dropped their pants on pricing for this. We couldn’t resist... a case and half for the summer! 😯
Honey, almonds and pineapples are everywhere here. Reasonable amount of oak, leads into caramel and hints of dill. For less than $12, we are very happy with this. — 7 years ago

Third wine of the night. 2011 of a three flight night. Much more acidic than the 2009 and the 2010, but a lovely Chardonnay. A little crisper and less oak. — 8 years ago

Let's going on on this one. Nose of melon, honey, white flowers, slate, and lemon peel. Palate just as deep with stone, lemon, oak, apricot, and tart cherries. Clean finish, not oily at all. Very very good. — 10 years ago

Nice and crisp with just the right amount of oak; purchased it way below the price point listed here. — 11 years ago

You can easily pick up the French style (which I am partial to) of this beautiful Chardonnay. Not an over abundance of oak that I get from so many US (ahem, California) chards... — 12 years ago
