Cristom Vineyards Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay Louise Vineyard 2021 SF Chronicle Stéphane Regnault’s *Brut Chromatique* seriesThis elegant Willamette Valley Chardonnay is aged 11 months in French oak with subtle barrel influence. Fresh cut grass, chilled Gravenstein apples, and chamomile tea notes open onto a palate that's honeyed and saline, with beeswax and stony minerality. The wine balances opulence with brightness, finishing with Pacific inspired salinity and exceptional length.
