This marvelous wine is beginning to show an exquisite evolution five years on. The wine is the entry-level Chardonnay for Lingua Franca, blended across several sites in Eola-Amity Hills and produced under the tutelage of consulting winemaker Dominique Lafon. The fruit is whole-cluster pressed and fermented in a combination of large and small casks (16% new). After full malolactic conversion, it was aged a year in barrel and a further six months in tank. At this point, it is showing aromas of ripe apple, toasted walnut, and butter, truly aging like Meursault.
