The 2012 Beaux Frères 'Gran Moraine' Chardonnay is an impressive and rich release from this estate. This limited production wine opens with aromatics of Pink Lady apple, hazelnuts and toasted oak with suggestions of nutmeg. There are flavors of creme brulee, brioche, Gravenstein apple, and hints of vanilla. There is a lovely weight and mouthfeel to this exceptional Chardonnay bottling. This wine will perform well with some short-term cellaring. (Best 2016-2024) - June, 2016 (OB)
