Nicolas-Jay Chardonnay Bishop Creek 2018

Winemaker Notes
“The wine is still reserved aromatically, but shows a pale straw color in the glass and offers pear, pear skin, meyer lemon and wet stone on the nose. The palate is defined by minerality and a vibrant core of acidity. Some oak impact is still present in the wine, which contributes subtle flavors of vanilla and toast. Juicy pear and citrus persist through the lengthy finish. A young wine which will improve greatly with age.” - Jean-Nicolas Méo and Tracy Kendall
92 Points | D
“A superb example of the whites from this project. The vines at the top of this slope on Bishop Creek estate were only recently budded over from Pinot Gris to Chardonnay, but the results are marvellous, with a luxurious ripe-apple fruit and a leesy hint of spice. Rewarding freshness and length on the palate – it’s a wine that will age. Drinking window 2020 - 2030.” - Decanter
