The 2019 Chardonnay Arthur is pure, precise and extraordinarily pretty this vintage, with expressive key lime, pencil lead and saline aromas, plus wafts of spring flowers and beeswax. The stunning palate combines creamy texture and fresh tang, gently honeyed fruits and citrusy uplift, which make for a very long, energetic finish. It's the best iteration of the Arthur cuvée I've tried. - Erin Brooks

Baked apples, spiced pears, lemon pie, white flowers, nougat and nutmeg on the nose. It’s full-bodied with crisp acidity and seamless, elegant layers of ripe stone and citrus fruit. Hints of stones and blanched almonds to close. Drink or hold.

The new vintage of the 'Arthur' Chardonnay from Domaine Drouhin is delicious. As is Drouhin's custom, half is fermented in barrel and half in tank to give an extremely refined result. Aromas of ripe apple and quince fruit waft from the glass; the texture is silky and fresh, but there is a hint of almond on the palate as well, and the overall impression is supple, creamy finesse, and beautiful length.
