The 2017 La Follette Los Primeros Chardonnay opens with a beguiling bouquet of white flower, wet stone and honeydew that expands with aeration as a note of fresh peach emerges. Subtle hints of thyme and lemon verbena play against the fruit, as refreshing minerality comes to the fore in the late-palate. The opposing sensations of the textured barrel lots and the structure of the tank portions create an exciting tension in this balanced and dynamic Chardonnay.
Pairs well with Salad Niçoise, goat cheese with pear and pinot nut salad, grilled halibut with citrus.
