The 2016 vintage of our Belle Pente Vineyard Chardonnay is a chameleon of a wine. Initially, notes of orange peel citrus and spice suggest a decadent wine, but these quickly give way to cool, clean aromas of honeysuckle, wintergreen, and crushed oyster shell. It's reminiscent of a top-flight premier cru Chablis with bright, focused acidity supporting tart green apple and tangerine flavors. The wine's Chablisiènne side shows even more in the racy, briny minerality that unfolds with air and carries through the long, vibrant finish. It's vineyards and wines like these that we hope will come to define Willamette Valley Chardonnay in the years ahead.
