Description
Kanzler, Estate Chardonnay
There’s lots of old-vine depth with this Kanzler effort but also lots of freshness, lending it a crystalline quality reminiscent of good Puligny-Montrachet. In the glass, it’s a star-bright yellow-gold moving to straw and green at the rim, with a similar yellow/green interplay in the aromas and flavors: yellow and green apple, white peach, lime blossom, lemon curd, white flowers, delicate spices, and well-integrated notes of cream and toast. It is medium-plus in body and invigoratingly fresh on the palate, ready to drink now and over the next few years with some of the Chardonnay-pairing usual suspects: richer fish dishes, roast chicken, etc.
