At least some patience required

The expressive and high-toned nose is quite ripe with absolutely no trace of herb or forest floor

the fermentation and aging are the same as for the centenary Carignan

The fruit component offers great purity and intensity midpalate

The first vintage is the 2015 Les Aubaguetes

Walter Scott, X Novo Chardonnay other_regions_italy At least some patience requiredGlistening yellow. Mineral tinged nectarine, orange, honey and white flowers on the intensely perfumed nose. Silky and tightly focused in the mouth, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors that are complemented by suggestions of fennel, sweet butter and saffron. Shows excellent depth as well as energy and finishes minerally, dry and extremely long, with resonating citrus fruit and mineral notes. Josh Raynolds
