Tasting Notes
This is a very fine, fresh, subtle and well balanced chardonnay that reminded me stylistically of Macon from Burgundy. Oak is barely perceptible, leaving pretty, mild fresh apple, white flower, vanillin aromas and flavours. It's mid-weight and fresh with gentle grip and considerable elegance. The length is very good to excellent. Raymond was purchased by Boisset of Burgundy in 2009 and in 2010 began converting to biodynamic viticulture. Sixty percent of the fruit for this wine is from estate wines, another 25% is from Sonoma, the remainder is from Monterey County. Tasted July 2013. Score - 89.
