Of the four Chardonnays Le Clos makes this is my favorite of the 2006 vintage, and of their Pinots, the Claystone was my second favorite; so there must be something in this vineyard that appeals to me and my tastebuds. The nose starts off very Chardonnay-like, with the buttery-apple notes along with mineral, rusty apple and buckwheat. The palate shows some real finesse and fun flavours; sure there's apple, butter and mineral – that’s to be expected from this single vineyard Chardonnay, but then creamy caramel, cinnamon apple and peach pie dance across the tongue and you’re hooked for another sip - another and another and another.
