Closson Chase Vineyard Chardonnay 2009
Prince Edward County, Ontario, CanadaI've visited many wineries that reek of money but not all of them have a soul for wine. Closson Chase has both in spades plus the formidable Deborah Paskus to grow the grapes and make the wine. The home vineyard spans just over 12 hectares along the eastern end of Lake Ontario at 44°N. This single vineyard chardonnay is simply electric, with tightly wound cool, citrus fruit and plenty of minerality. You can almost taste the limestone. Stark and lean, with big sommelier appeal, this is to be appreciated at the highest level of tasting. Certainly among handful of the best chardonnays made in this country and should turn heads internationally too. Can't wait for these vineyards to fully mature and settle in.Tasted: 22 March 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| ON | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
