The 2024 Perenelle Chardonnay shows a clear, medium gold hue, offering focus and freshness from the first pour.
The nose is clean and medium in intensity, with aromas of yellow pear and quince, layered with lemon peel, soft cedar, vanilla, and toasted chestnut.
Dry and composed on the palate, medium-plus acidity brings lift and definition, balanced by a medium-plus body and alcohol. Flavours of pear and lemon lead, followed by fennel, cedar, and chestnut, with a subtle touch of custard adding texture and depth.
Fresh and precise throughout, the wine finishes with good length, reflecting a poised, site-driven Chardonnay with clarity, balance, and the promise of further evolution in bottle.
