The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe comes from the Dumol Bressay Estate and Flora Marie vineyards. Grapes were harvested September 11, 13 and 30, and the wine was matured for 11 months in 26% new French Damy barrels, followed by six months in tank. Initial wafts of candle smoke, flint and crème brûlée give way to green melon, panna cotta and spring honey aromas. The full-bodied palate is bursting with fragrant flavors, and its new oak is seamlessly integrated. Silky in texture, its generosity is foiled by bright acidity, and it has a long, layered finish. 1,450 cases were made. Erin Brooks, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe is a blend of Eastside Road and Bressay. Floral, lifted and quite delicate, the Chloe is one of the most open-knit, accessible wines in the range. It should age beautifully, but opening a bottle now would be far from a crime. Lemon peel, ripe pear, white flowers and chalk are some of the notes that build with a bit of time in the glass. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
