Bachelder Willms Chardonnay 1983 Plantation Old Vines I Vielles Vignes 2018
Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaBachelder loves this vintage, suggesting it has the "precision that we didn't see after other equally warm summers." It is also the first chardonnay he has made from Niagara-on-the Lake, giving into a magic vineyard of old vines planted in 1983. The style is rich and honeyed for Bachelder, but the citrus core and minerality make it a quality chardonnay. No new oak is used, with all three cuvées sporting one to four year French oak, which mostly hails from Damy in Meursault. The site sits 6 km from Lake Ontario and about four kilometres from the Niagara River. Its silt, loamy clay, gravel, limestone, and sand soils are the perfect medium to grow chardonnay with elegance. Drink or hold through 2023 for best results. It would be a fine match with a savoury roasted chickenTasted: 22 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:| ON | $44.95 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
