Description

Domaine Naturaliste 'Artus' Chardonnay 2023While it always comes out as a bit of a powerhouse flavour wise and in structure, this is backed up by fine acidity, driving this long. It also keeps the substantial flavours of savoury oak, creamed honey lees and grapefruit in check. Some flinty, funky sulphides add an extra dimension of complexity as it continues to build on the palate. 96 points, drink 2025 2033, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion.

singular entry and a structured

brown spices and forest floor

Powerful and highly structured on the full-bodied but super-clean palate

There is fine volume to the fleshy and generously proportioned middleweight flavors that possess good energy that carries over to the clean and dry finale

warm days and cool nights of the Big Valley
