Tolpuddle Vineyard, Chardonnay Size:6x750ml Pedesclaux seems to have arrived

Pedesclaux seems to have arrived at its unique personality in this great vintage

A brooding but wonderfully fresh nose mingles notes of various red berries

Crisp and lean

menthol and reduction

Tolpuddle Vineyard, Chardonnay Size:6x750ml Pedesclaux seems to have arrivedThe 2023 Tolpuddle Chardonnay is a steely and tense expression that delivers powerful and highly focussed aromas of citrus and florals with a peach skin highlight. Fine French oak sits in the perfect place. Excellent density of youthful flavor follows, with flinty, delicatessen like tones holding firm over a strong, long, adolescent finish. This is a keeper that needs another decade to hit its peak.
