Genève, Chardonnay, Les Parcelles - L. Villard - 2023

Its open, intense nose is beautifully expressive, revealing notes of sweet almond, acacia honey and orchard fruit (juicy pears). White flowers complete the olfactory picture, with a hint of citrus peel adding an extra dimension to the bouquet. On the palate, this wine is opulent and full-bodied, striking a harmonious balance between refreshing tension and alcoholic richness. The fruit is present throughout. A well-structured, long and fat mid-palate and a lively but well-integrated finish underline the exceptional quality of this Chardonnay, one of the finest of recent years, with its friendly, open and generous character.
