2012 Luca Chardonnay Tupongato

(92 Points) "The 2012 G Lot Chardonnay is produced from high-altitude Chardonnay grapes grown in a corner in Gualtallary (hence the ‘G’). It has a very fresh Burgundian nose with aromas of nuts, tangerine, white peach and orange rind. To get the style for this wine (and for the White Bones and White Stones from Catena) they consulted with Meursault guru Jean-Mac Roulot, so you can have an idea of the style here. Only part of the wine ages in barrels and it has a little ripe nose. The palate is medium-bodied, ripe (the style of the 2012 vintage!), but with good freshness and acidity, especially for a warm vintage. "  The Wine Advocate
