Tropical,fleshy, creamy.
This handpicked estate Chardy was fermented in tank (25%) and oak (75%) with different strains of yeast to add complexity; it went through partial mololactic fermentation and was aged in assorted oak barrels for 9 months.
More tropical than the 2021, the 2020 shows banana and pineapple, apricots and honeysuckle, hazelnut and wild honey aromas. The palate mimics the nose, creamy golden fruit, lemon and butterscotch lead to a clove flavoured finish.
