The 2023 vintage delivered the ripest expression we have ever seen from our Triple Crown Vineyard, yet the preservation of acidity in this wine is especially impressive given the richness of the year. The Triple Crown Vineyard is our highest-elevation Chardonnay site, a south-facing slope with a slightly gentler grade that we often refer to as a “baby Côte Sud.” Its position allows fruit to achieve exceptional ripeness without sacrificing structure or energy.

The 2023 Triple Crown Chardonnay greets the senses with an exceptionally vibrant and tropical bouquet, where kiwi, lime zest, and ripe pineapple mingle with white flowers, crystallized ginger, and a subtle confectionary note. On the palate, juicy acidity and bright, frame a medium-weight, richly layered stone fruit, creating a harmonious balance between ripeness and structure. The finish is remarkably persistent and flavorful, extending long after each sip.

A vibrant and fresh medium-bodied wine with loads of stone fruit and citrus. Lemon cream, lime zest, pear skin, chalk and white peaches on the nose, with a round, juicy and gently creamy palate and flavors of lemons, pears and peaches. Zippy, citrusy acidity cleanses the palate, while warm spices linger in the finish. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold.
