2021 Walter Scott Chardonnay La Combe Verte Willamette Valley (750ml)

The 2021 Chardonnay La Combe Verte opens from matchstick to intense peach perfume and nuances of beeswax, almonds and acacia. The medium-bodied palate explodes with layer after layer of powerful fruit, delivered in a luxuriously silky texture and tempered by focused acidity. The Combe Verte offers fantastic length, concentration and energy!" 96 points - Wine Advocate "Abundant in tangy, sun-struck citrus and green plum flavours, La Combe Verte is the bright-fruited, eager-to-please younger sibling to this producer's more reserved Cuvée Anne. Augmented with 2% Aligoté and fermented in French oak (but just 20% new) via ambient yeast, it's a lively, crystalline wine with a zingy lime pith finish." 93 points - Decanter
