Crittenden Cri de Coeur Chardonnay 2022

 

The Crittenden Cri de Coeur (cry of the heart) range is their best of the best and this 2022 Chardonnay flies that flag with ease. 

Whole bunch pressed to a mix of new (40%) and seasoned French oak for eleven months, it underwent wild yeast fermentation with 50% going through malolactic fermentation.

Detail is the buzzword here with layers of interest seeking your attention. White petals, almond nougat, pistachios and barbecued white fleshed nectarines make a neat intro with buttered toast and whipped cream coming from the oak. Possessing well-handled weight without being bulky, a lemony drive is a consistent thread towing you along for a splendid ride. Focused with tension, it drives long with a fine textural presence on close. It's a moreish wine that urges considered thought. And on that, I'll take another sip and ponder some more. Excellent!

Drink to eight years.
