A Burgundian-style Chardonnay with incredible depth, silkiness, and elegance—think Premier Cru Meursault, crafted to perfection.
A beautifully balanced wine with vibrant acidity, tropical fruit, and subtle hints of almond, offering aging potential of a decade or more.
Scoring 94/100 from James Suckling, this wine is both youthful and poised for further development, showcasing a harmonious blend of fruit, minerality, and texture.

Description
The Hans Herzog Chardonnay 2021 is a true statement wine, rivaling the finest Chardonnay from Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. Its depth and elegance unfold with each sip, showcasing a silky texture and flavors of white peach, yellow apple, and a touch of almonds. The concentration is remarkable, delivering a wine of incredible purity and refinement, with a fine balance of acidity that imparts energy and ensures a long lifespan in the cellar.
This Chardonnay displays the classic characteristics of a Premier Cru Meursault—complex, with compelling aromas of tropical fruit and white flowers, and a persistent finish that lingers beautifully. The subtle influence of barrel maturation adds a layer of generosity and rounded texture, while its mineral undertones and slight salinity lend further complexity. Scoring 94/100 from James Suckling, this wine is both delightful now and promises even greater rewards with a few years of aging.
