Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
A very expressive Chardonnay from a single vineyard in Sonoma considered one of the top sites in California. Powerful but not overwhelming on the nose and palate. Shows its multiple tropical fruit notes on both nose and palate. Since it’s 100% barrel fermented with native yeast and full of malolactic, it provides a great level of complexity. The creaminess is balanced and has some weight to it. Long finish and pleasant mouthfeel with a great texture. A show stopper!

Haliotide
Blanc de Blancs Stolo Vineyard Chardonnay 2017
@Delectable Wine : This is the Late Disgorged Blanc de Blancs. I didn’t see it in the database.
I compared this 2017 Haliotide Late Disgorged BdB to the 2016 Ultramarine Heintz BdB to get a feel for styles. Followed over two days with no change.
I’ve had the Haliotide rosé and thought it was really expressive. Lots of bright red fruit. I love late disgorged offerings so I picked this up to try.
This Haliotide spent 68 months en tirage! However, I expected a more leesy profile as this wine is razor sharp. Nice, clean and pure. It’s like drinking Chablis with bubbles. Lemon, underripe pear, and honeysuckle aromatically. On the palate, it is mineral heavy with sea salt, lemon to the max, and a bright and crystalline acidic profile. The zero dosage nature comes across naturally without being too austere. Screams for food…sushi or oysters would be a killer pairing. I enjoyed drinking this, but I think I expected a bit more mid-palate richness. If you love Chablis or leaner style grower champagnes, this is your jam. — a year ago
