Lapostolle Chardonnay Cuvee Alexandre Atalayas Vineyard 2013

A ripe, juicy style, with pear, apple and fig fruit framed by nicely integrated piecrust and brioche notes. The long finish lets a hazelnut hint chime in.Smooth, tropical and pure on the nose, with pineapple as the lead fruit.

The palate is solid and full-bodied, with pineapple, papaya, honey and toasted flavors. Not “oaky” but it is well oaked, and thus the finish is warm, toasty and creamy.
