La Follette Chardonnay Los Primeros 2017

The 2017 La Follette Los Primeros Chardonnay opens with a beguiling bouquet of white flower, wet stone and honeydew that expands with aeration as a note of fresh peach emerges. Subtle hints of thyme and lemon verbena play against the fruit, as refreshing minerality comes to the fore in the late-palate. The opposing sensations of the textured barrel lots and the structure of the tank portions create an exciting tension in this balanced and dynamic Chardonnay.

This wine is generous, yet stylish. Its attractive aromas and flavors of peach fuzz, ripe apple, and savory spices would pair nicely with oven-baked game birds and morels.
