Shimmering garnet. Cherry, black raspberry, musky lavender and fresh-turned earth qualities on the deeply perfumed nose. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering bitter cherry and berry preserve flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Concentrated yet lithe in character, showing strong finishing thrust and even, well-knit tannins that frame lingering cherry and floral notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2020)

Anyone who rates this LUCIENNE Chardonnay less than 93 is crazy. Smooth, crisp, flowery, complicated and fruit forward above all.
