2021 Jordan Village Chardonnay Le Clos Jordanne

Peaches, melons, and some ‘Limey’ lemon quince fruit with a hint of pear and cream. Mary Delaney (who has been behind the scenes at LcJ with Thomas since its inception in 2003), finds a lovely white flower and poire ‘honeysuckle’ on the palate. The perfectly integrated barrel ferment shows just a touch of vanillaed fennel on the nose, with a pleasant stoniness and crisp acidity on the lemon peel-laced finale, closing with a delicious hint of spice.
