Makuprofiili
In the glass, this 2021 vintage shows a luminous golden hue, hinting at its richness and concentration. The bouquet opens with white flowers, citrus, and ripe stone fruit, layered with subtle brioche, spice, and a gentle toastiness from oak aging. On the palate, it is rich and silky, yet lifted by vibrant acidity and a fine mineral edge that keeps the wine focused and balanced. The texture is generous without feeling heavy, and the finish is long, nuanced, and elegant. This is a Chardonnay with excellent aging potential, though it can also be enjoyed now for its immediate freshness and complexity.

Viininvalmistus
Belle Côte Vineyard sits in Knights Valley in Sonoma County, where its east-facing exposure and cooler microclimate help preserve acidity and aromatic detail. The deep volcanic soils contribute structure and mineral character, while the grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal fruit quality. Fermentation and maturation take place in French oak barrels, with a significant proportion of new oak used to build texture and complexity without overpowering the wine’s natural elegance.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, lobster, scallops, butter-poached seafood, or creamy pasta dishes, as well as dishes with mushrooms or subtle truffle accents. Serve it chilled at around 10–12°C for the best expression of its aromatics and texture. Decanting is not necessary, but a short period in the glass can help the wine open up if enjoyed young.
