The 2020 Chardonnay Bentrock is singular and expressive this vintage. It offers the matchstick-like reduction associated with Burgundian Chardonnay and takes significant time to reveal a core of candied lemon. The full-bodied palate is satiny and layered, its full, toasty fruits streaked with exotic honey and ginger perfume from a touch of botrytis in the vineyard. It has great freshness, a tremendously long finish and is the best rendition of this cuvée I've tasted to date.
