The winemakers at Les Bories usually begin harvesting in mid-September. They have to get up very early to harvest the Chardonnay grapes before the sun truly rises. This is done to prevent bruising and preserve a certain freshness in the grapes. Well, it all worked out very well; a powerful Chardonnay with a lovely fresh note is the best way to describe this white wine.
A textbook example of a top-class white wine, especially in this price range. A full-bodied Chardonnay that's truly deliciously rich and soft on the palate. The aroma reveals nuances of blossom and yellow fruit like mango, peach, apricot, and plum. On the palate, this Les Bories Chardonnay is very fruity, with the tropical notes most prominent on the palate. It also offers rounded notes and a touch of richness, with more than enough freshness. A long, lingering finish, typical of a Chardonnay!
