The 2016 Chardonnay “Cuvée Arthur” from Domaine Drouhin is a very pretty wine that offers up lovely complexity on both the nose and palate. The wine delivers an esthery and quite complex bouquet of pear, apple, bee pollen, chalky soil tones, vanillin oak, citrus zest and a nice touch of salinity. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, ripe and nicely racy, with a fine core of fruit, lovely cut and grip and a long, complex and very nicely balanced finish. This is fourteen percent octane and carries its ripeness very elegantly and will age beautifully- if one can keep one’s hands off of the wine in the cellar!
