Walter Scott Description
Our approach to Chardonnay pays attention to texture and structure while translating site and vintage. The result is an illuminating style of Chardonnay, showcasing density and precision. The palate accentuates notes of summer peach and bright lemon zest. As the wine evolves, layers of textures unfold to aromatic notes of crunchy nectarine and honeysuckle. Hints of hazelnut add dimension to the mineral and saline that linger on the finish.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Fruit for the 2022 Chardonnay La Combe Verte comes from five premier vineyards in the Willamette Valley planted on both volcanic and marine sedimentary soils: Freedom Hill, Hyland, Koosah, Sojeau and Witness Tree. It was blended with 2% Aligoté and matured for eight months in 25% new French oak before finishing with two months in stainless steel. It offers integrated tones of matchstick and flint that complement a core of quince paste, peach preserves, meringue, beeswax and cashews. The light-bodied palate is seamless and shimmery, pairing concentrated, honeyed fruit with linear acidity that results in a weightless feel and an ethereal finish.
