The nose is oceanic, a margarita mix of salty citrus, chalk and baked nuts that meets levity and a lightly baked quality on the palate. The whole affair sings with nerve and acidity but concentration just the same. No wonder the Burgundy-phile in Raj – and those before him – gravitated to this site decades ago. Its unapologetically mineral backbone provides the perfect canvas for a linear, balanced Chardonnay.
