The 2008 Chardonnay Cuvee Bois reveals a cooler, more taut personality. The tension between the fruit and the wine's structural components conveys an impression of vitality. Varietal fruit, French oak, minerals and dried flowers are woven together in a tapestry of inimitable class. Sweet, spiced notes from the oak linger on a finish that turns explosive and saline as the wine grows in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel.
