Bodega Chacra Chacra Chardonnay Patagonia 2023
One of the grandsons of the founder of Tenuta San Guido, in collaboration with Burgundy legend Jean-Marc Rulot, is responsible for this exceptional overseas Chardonnay, which really has nothing to hide from its Burgundian role models in terms of finesse, elegance and class. Mineral salinity, a beguiling mellowness and enormous vibrancy form the basis - ultra-fresh apple fruit, the finest brioche and floral tones envelop an enormous depth. There is nothing rumbling or even peasant-like here - on the contrary: the "Chacra' achieves the great feat of merging its density, energy and radiance with aristocratic elegance. Nothing less than a masterpiece - for which James Suckling consequently awarded a proud 99 points.
