Lovely nose, some nutty and deftly managed buttery character. Palate is full with some nice minerality especially on the finish. Oak treatment is restrained and the focused palate sings of melon and peach/nectarine flavours. Long, lingering finish and natural, balanced acidity bring up the rear of the delectable, elegant wine. Not at all tiresome to drink even after it has warmed up to room temperature. One of the best Chardys I've had in a long while.
