"Quintessential Chevalier aromas of powdered stone, menthol and white truffle, complemented by oak char. At once superrich and lively, with almost painfully penetrating flavors of lemon, minerals and dusty stone. Offers extraordinary solidity in the mouth but also great precision and class. In fact, this conveys an almost weightless impression thanks to its sheer energy, as only chardonnay from chalky soil can do. Explosive, mounting flavors saturate the palate with citrus and stone."
