2022 Pisoni Estate Chardonnay
The windswept and fog laden Pisoni Estate Vineyards are situated near the northeast corner of the Santa Lucia Highlands. The vineyards are separated into 30 individually farmed blocks and sub-blocks that range from one half to 17-acres in size with varying soil types, microclimates, elevations and slopes. Each plot is given a name that pays homage to family members and laborers that have influenced this parcel of land.
This wine has a seductive appeal that you would only discover in a top Premier Cru Meursault. The glistening sunshine yellow color unveils a fragrant bouquet of Bosc pear and citrus oil. There is a silky texture of candied stone fruits, Meyer lemons, honeysuckle and orange blossoms along with delicate accents of white peach and finely crushed seashells. The silky laden and creamy core has a beautiful delineation of richness that is effortlessly balanced with lively, refreshing acidity. The finish is racy, pure and long showcasing the artistry of the Pisoni Family.
