Jacques Lassaigne, Les Vignes de Montgueux, NV Subscription Rancho Ontiveros & Rancho VinedoRipe lemon and grapefruit citrus, moving through pear to exotic notes, this wine has a beautiful crisp acidity. There is great depth and texture too. A real celebration of Chardonnay by this expert. Lots goes into building the complexity of this wine. Fruit is from eight different villages, and three vintages are blended with a touch of reserve wine.
