Chardonnay Chloe Vineyard 2021 DuMol

Avis professionnels

Jeb Dunnuck (96)

Pouring a bright medium yellow/straw hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is highly expressive, with a golden perfume of pineapple, orange oil, and a bit of honeysuckle. It has full body and a rounded texture, with ripe apricot, hazelnut, and white flowers. A lusher personality to drink over the next ten years, it’s a bit more open at this youthful stage.

The 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is scented of white peach, jasmine, meringue and toasted almonds with flinty streaks. The light-bodied palate has a gently grippy texture and refreshing acidity to balance its concentrated core of spicy stone fruit, and it has a long finish full of ripe fruit.

Elegant, with up-front ripe peach, apricot and mango notes giving way to elegant, supple buttered brioche. Shows generous accents of spices, salted and toasted hazelnut and a touch of peach blossoms. Drink now. 1,200 cases made.

James Suckling (94)

The purity of fruit strikes you here with sliced apple, pineapple, and some peach. Medium to full body. Pointed finish. Some flint and steel undertones. Goes tight at the end. Tensioned. Give it a year or two to come around. Drink or hold.

Vinous (94)

The 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is a powerful, dense wine that is going to need time to come around. Lemon confit, dried herbs, menthol, spice and chamomile all take shape, gradually, in this potent Chardonnay. The Chloe is a blend of fruit from El Diablo and Flora Marie, plus fruit from the Estate. This deep, phenolic Chardonnay has a ton to offer.
