Hyde de Villaine, Chardonnay, California 2016

Hyde de Villaine

Case Format: 1x75cl

Hyde de Villiane is the product of an alliance of vinous royalty; Californian viticulturalist Larry Hyde and Aubert de Villiane, best known for his time as co-director of the mighty Domaine de la Romanée Conti. HdV Chardonnay comes from the older blocks of the Hyde vineyard, from vines between 25-43 years of age and matured for 11 months in 20% new French oak. A few years of bottle age have given these wines a lovely complexity and a true expression of the Carneros terroir.

“For those that love perfumed, mineral-driven, elegant expressions of these varieties—and yet with amazing intensity and purity—you need to get a hold of these Hyde Estate wines!” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown

CRITIC REVIEWS

Erin Brooks

Chalky at first, the 2016 Chardonnay takes its time to reveal citrus blossoms, lime peel, crushed stone, apricots and pure lemon and apple fruit with dusty, minerally nuances. The palate walks a wonderful line of pure, ripe fruits and fresh citrusy and rocky accents. It has a silky texture, tangy lift and a very long, nuanced finish. This has the stuffing and structure to be very long lived.

James Suckling

This is very dense and serious with freshness and powerful acidity that gives it intensity and focus. Goes on and on with so much floral and sliced-lime flavor and hints of white flowers, pear blossom and minerals. So beautiful to drink now, but will improve with age.
