Note di degustazione
Leading 2014 Chardonnay Belle de Jour Duvarita Vineyard comes from a cool site west of the Sta. Rita Hills and is from the Calera and Mt Eden clones. It's the first wine from Paul from this site and there's a scant six barrels to go around. Spending 14 months in 50% new French oak, it has a terrific bouquet of smoke, charcoal, stone and apple fruits, brioche and integrated oak. This gives way to a rich, layered Chardonnay that has bright acidity, a layered, seamless texture and a great finish. In short, it's another sensational Chardonnay from a great winemaker.

Lato's 2014 Chardonnay Belle de Jour Duvarita Vineyard is rich, ample and generous, yet also retains striking freshness to match its mid-weight personality. Orchard fruit, succulent peach, chamomile, jasmine, white pepper and lightly buttered notes are all nicely delineated. Translucent and nuanced throughout, the Duvarita is a strong effort from Paul Lato in his first year working with this site.
