The amazing 2019 White Stones Chardonnay comes from a select group of 27 rows planted on lot I of the Adriana Vineyard, planted at an altitude of almost 1,500 meters above sea level. Bright yellow in the glass. More Meursault than Chablis, the nose offers hazelnuts, herbs and a whiff of tart spices alongside hints of linden blossom and acacia. Intense and concentrated in the mouth, this has a skeletal structure and a compact, saline, tangy palate before powerful aromas of fruit and oak gather at the back of the throat to deliver an elongated finish helped along by the acidity. 6,600 bottles were filled in May 2020. 99 points Robert Parker
