A bit of fruit from the Talon Ridge Vineyard is blended into the Chardonnay from the 'grand cru' Le Clos Jordanne Vineyard for this impressive top Chardonnay. A dominant note of chalky minerality is the first impression, then notes of fresh pear and quince, Meyer lemon and elegant spice notes. It's generous and rich on the palate with ripe pear, lemon oil, golden apple, chalky minerality and spice in a complex and layered style with an echoing and fresh finish. A special Chardonnay. This was paired with Basque cheesecake with hazelnut and Chardonnay poached pear. Score - 93. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Oct. 10, 2022)
