The 2010 Chardonnay Coup De Coeur is a selection of the estate's finest barrels. It shows a bit more depth than the estate's other 2010s and also slightly riper tendencies in the fruit. Still I find the qualitative difference between this and Ma Princesse minimal at least at present. There is plenty of intensity in the tropical fruit spices and almonds that frame the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018. -Antonio Galloni
