De Wetshof Bon Vallon Unwooded Chardonnay 2023

Opening with a citrus and mineral-driven nose, the 2023 Bon Vallon Chardonnay displays notions of wet concrete and petrichor before aromas of lemon oil sway out of the glass. Medium-bodied, the palate displays fresh notions of citrus blossom with spiced white tea while delivering vibrant acidity with a balanced structure possessing freshness and finesse … the wine rested on the lees for between 80 and 120 days. Drink date: 2023-2030. (Anthony Mueller,robertparker.com,Dec. 29, 2023)
