The Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisetiers 2021 is a refined white wine from California’s Sonoma Coast, crafted by the iconic Kistler Vineyards from select vineyard sites. This 2021 vintage displays a pale gold hue and a vibrant nose of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, with hints of toasted almond, vanilla, and subtle minerality. The palate is crisp and structured, with vibrant acidity, a concentrated fruit core, and a long, elegant finish with a touch of oaky complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels (partly new), this wine reflects the cool-climate terroir of Sonoma. Perfect with seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy 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 testament to Kistler’s reputation for crafting world-class California whites with finesse and elegance, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a Burgundian-style wine.
