2021 DuMol Ritchie Vineyard "Chloe" Chardonnay 0,75 Liter

The DuMol Ritchie Vineyard "Chloe" Chardonnay 2021 is a luxurious white wine from California’s Russian River Valley, crafted by the DuMol estate from the iconic Ritchie Vineyard. This 2021 vintage displays a pale gold hue and a complex nose of lemon curd, green apple, and white peach, with hints of brioche, flint, and subtle oak. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of toasty complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels (partly new), this wine reflects the cool-climate terroir of Sonoma. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. Rated highly by critics, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 5-7 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Chardonnay is a collector’s gem, showcasing DuMol’s expertise in crafting world-class California whites with elegance and depth, ideal for enthusiasts seeking a Burgundian-style experience.
