Bell Cellars Estate Yountville Chardonnay 2021

Wine Tasting Notes
The Bell Cellars Estate Yountville Chardonnay showcases a more European influence rather than a Californian one, with a restrained use of oak and minimal lees stirring during the aging process. This approach allows the tropical and citrus fruit flavors to truly shine. Acting as a wonderful bridge between the crisp, unwooded style of the Southern Hemisphere and the rich, oaky, and buttery style of California, this Chardonnay offers enticing vanilla aromas, sweet oak flavors, and a subtle cream texture from the sur lies aging and malo-lactic fermentation. These elements contribute to a delightful mouthfeel and a lingering finish. Additionally, the tank ferment portion of the wine ensures its brightness, crispness, and liveliness. With its refreshing and crisp character, this Chardonnay is a perfect companion to a wide range of dishes or can be enjoyed slightly chilled as an aperitif.
