Curly Flat Chardonnay 2024

Ah, that good old Burgundy-like feel on the first sniff – hard to overlook, especially for those who love that reductive style, like I do. Notes of struck match, Meyer lemon, custard apple, margarine, and crunchy Golden Delicious apples come through clearly. Everything is effortlessly integrated over a textural, multi-layered palate, lifted by a stream of acidity. Nothing really screams for attention; rather, it’s the harmony that makes it so compelling. It’s a wine that would pair beautifully with anything featuring protein and a butter-based sauce. I dream of pan-roasted lobster à la française, but let’s be honest, I’m lucky if I can still afford a whole organic chicken from the market! A true gastronomic wine – one that engages your taste buds with purpose.
