Bodega Chacra Chacra Chardonnay Patagonia 2022

You don't need to know anything more than the fact that Jean-Marc Roulot, the Burgundian Chardonnay expert, plays a leading role at Chacra to be certain that this winery's Chardonnay is not just one of the countless, run-of-the-mill overseas Chardonnays. On the contrary: Chacra stands for a Chardonnay that need not shy away from comparison anywhere in the world. The unique Patagonian terroir, combined with Roulot's winemaking expertise, creates its very own magic. Meyer lemons, beeswax, baked apple, oyster shell, a hint of reduction – the Chacra has everything one would expect from a great white Burgundy. And yet it is anything but derivative – but stylistically highly distinctive.
