The 2022 Chardonnay is very clear, fresh, refined and super intense on the generous and complex nose yet with the uplifting and coolish flint stone nuances delivered from the terroir. Full-bodied but finessed and crystalline on the palate, this is a substantial, highly complex yet very elegant and beautifully saline Chardonnay with fine tannins and a salivating, finely grippy finish. This 2022 is of celestial beauty, and although it is rich in flavors and texture, it never settles in the palate and just tickles it. This is an emotional, unique and so highly finessed Chardonnay that is unrivalled in style and class, at least in Switzerland. It was bottled after a year on the full lees in 50% new barrels just the day before the 2023 harvest kick-off. Tasted at the domaine in March 2024.
