Far Niente describes their 2019 Chardonnay as alluring, and they’re not wrong. We liked everything this wine threw at us; it was everything a well-made California Chardonnay should be.
This single-vineyard wine is a classic chardonnay with a gorgeous gold-yellow color and medium legs. On the nose, we picked up hints of lemon, apple, a little peach, honeydew, and very slight stoniness. On the palate, we get hints of green apple, lemon, pink grapefruit, and honeydew, and Brett swears
But, what many wine drinkers don’t realize is that Beajolais also produces a small amount of Chardonnay – we’re talking between 1 – 2% of the region. For comparison’s sake, its sister region, Burgundy, produces roughly 60% white wine, 34% red wine, and 6% cremant.
