Description
The Hans Herzog Chardonnay 2020 is a masterpiece that will delight Burgundy lovers with its elegance, purity, and refinement. This wine unfolds in layers, revealing enticing flavors of white peach, a hint of lemon zest, and a rich complexity that is accentuated by a beautifully balanced acidity. The palate is full-bodied yet retains a creamy texture that enhances the wine's richness, with subtle nuances of hazelnut, oyster shell, and green apple adding depth. A vibrant minerality leads into a long, concentrated, dry finish that will evolve beautifully with bottle age.
Aged for 18 months in used 500-liter French oak puncheons, the wine's texture is further refined, and its flavor profile deepened. The lack of cold stabilization, fining, and light filtration ensures the preservation of the wine's natural integrity. This Chardonnay is not only a pleasure to enjoy now but also has excellent aging potential, making it a fantastic choice for collectors looking for a wine that will continue to impress for years to come. With its intensity, complexity, and excellent cellaring potential, this is a wine that will become even more heavenly with time.
