2018 Estate Chardonnay
Medium yellow hue. Enchanting scents of apricot jam, passionfruit, fig, mango, and honey unite around elements of banana and oak spice. These characters persist on the palate along with notes of grapefruit. The texture of this Chardonnay is unctuous, dense, and layered, much like the soil profile in the vineyard. This wine finishes full, lively, and loaded with minerals. Enjoy now through 2029.

Winemaker Notes
2018 Estate Chardonnay Brosseau is a blend of blocks both young and old. Young blocks project power and intensity while the older blocks showcase balance, sophistication, and depth. This wine exhibits engaging notes of stone fruits, citrus, and ripe apple. A concentrated effort without being over-the-top.
Food Pairing Notes
Pairs beautifully with manchego and Parmesan, pan seared scallops, and halibut.
