Domaine Drouhin Arthur Chardonnay 2011
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesArthur is made from 100% Dijon clones that were first planted in Oregon in 1992. Reputed to be among the oldest of their kind in the New World, they were chosen for their low yields and early ripening ability to match the region's climate and soils. The 2011 was picked very late in the season and has a cool mineral tone with fresh lemon, spicy nutty notes on the nose. The attack is spare with juicy, floral, pear honey, butter and lime flavours. An elegant lean style with finesse. Needs a year or two to round out. Perfect for wine lists. Arthur was first made in 1996 and renamed in honor of Véronique Drouhin-Boss' son with the 2002 release.Tasted: 13 February 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $32.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
