Château de Chardonne Premier Grand Cru

White wine | Chardonne, Lavaux AOC

A true jewel of the Obrist estates!
Château de Chardonne has entered the restricted circle of Vaudois Premiers Grands Crus since the 2011 vintage. This white wine expresses scents of acacia flowers and hawthorn, spicy notes of tonka bean and pepper, fruity accents of pear, with a hint of flint. A complexity worthy of its rank, underlined on the palate by a remarkable balance, in a slender, fine, very long style. Delicious young, its evolution will amaze you over decades!
