2015 Domaine Naturaliste Floris Chardonnay

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Lifted aromatics of nectarine and pear draped in dried honey characters overlay citrus, some flintiness and light biscuity oak. Fresh nectarine and citrus flavours dominate the palate with traces of dried honey, green pear, light nougat and subtle gun flint also chiming in. Nicely textured with vibrant acidity on the finish. Concludes with an aftertaste of ripe nectarine, dried honey, citrusy nougat, biscuity oak and spice.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….
Barrel ferment characters are evident, but it is the grapefruit and white peach that drives the extreme length of the palate and its aftertaste. This is a wine that will develop slowly and surely with a minimum of 5 years in bottle. Drink by 2023.
