After two relative disappointments from 2008, one Chassagne-Montrachet and one Chablis Les Clos, this one won the game for both the New World and screwcaps. Lovely freshness, pure, slightly smokey fruit, with real precision and vibrancy. It even retained a tiny bit of CO2! Excellent, and this is Kumeo's basic Chardonnay!
