Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chloe Chardonnay 2023

96+
/100

Druerne kommer hovedsageligt fra den golde stenede jord i Flora Marie- og El Diablo-vinmarkerne, som strækker sig øst for Russian River. De bidrager til Chloes tætte struktur og cremethed. 30 procent af druerne kommer fra den kystnære parcel "Bressay Estate", som tilfører friskhed og en energisk, lang finish i munden. Modnet i 11 måneder på 35 procent nye franske fade fra Tonnellerie Damy, som er elsket af mange vinbønder i Bourgogne. Derefter følger en fire måneders hvilefase i tanken, før vinen tappes på flaske. Chloe er allerede imponerende intens i næsen. Modne gule æbler og frugtblomster med peber, muskatnød og en delikat røget mineralitet, der får en skiferlignende smag. I munden glider vinen cremet, næsten olieagtig hen over tungen. Bitter citron, kandiseret citron, kumquat og hvid fersken er i vidunderlig harmoni med et strejf af cedertræ, muskatnød, jasminblomst og røgede, stenede smagsnuancer. Chloe har en vidunderlig tæthed uden at være fed. Den skubber på med en fantastisk spænding i munden. I modsætning til DuMOL's Hyde og Estate Vineyard Chardonnays har den allerede nået sit ideelle drikkevindue. Fantastiske sager!

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chloe Chardonnay

The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe is from the Flora Marrie Vineyard on Eastside Road, on volcanic red clay, gravelly soils on a plateau bench, and the rest is from behind the vineyard house on clay and sand. One of the richer wines in the range, it’s ripe but also savory on the nose, with golden peach, toasted incense, hints of toasted spice, and savory underpinnings. The palate is full and has some added depth of structure, with elegant length. Drink 2025-2035.

Suckling om: Chloe Chardonnay

This shows nicely the richness and pure fruit flavors of the Russian River Valley, yet it’s balanced by good, vibrant acidity. So plush and mouth-filling, broad and rather ripe, offering golden apples, baked pears and tempting pastry shop spices. Drink now.

Parker om: Chloe Chardonnay

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.
