"Our 2022 Chardonnay Arthur immediately focuses your attention with a fragrant nose of mandarin peel, vanilla blossoms, and honeysuckle. Nuanced flavors of lemongrass, white flowers, a hint of yuzu, and yellow plum all support the exquisite texture and well-defined structure. Of note: production was much lower than normal in 2022, which is a reflection of vintage conditions and also a testament to Véronique Drouhin’s clear quality standards."
Winemaker's notes
"The 2022 Chardonnay Arthur is wonderfully perfumed, blending incense, ground ginger, lemon oils and crushed yellow apples. This model of elegance offers silken textures ushering in pretty ripe peach complemented by tropical citrus and a hint of vanilla bean. A resonance of lime zest and liquid stone lingers as this tapers off with incredible length yet also freshness. Spellbinding, but be aware that production is down by 50% due to the spring frost"
