Little Frances Chardonnay 2024
DOZEN: $453.60 or $37.80 each
This is bright and febrile at one year of age, with fresh cut white nectarine and lemon pith making way for almond, Bosc pear, lemon curd, subtle powdery red apple, a whisper of honeycomb and emergent wafts of cinnamon spice. What starts as a taut aromatic aesthetic unfurls to become attractively balanced. The palate follows suits in its tensile, high-toned and mineral feel, though there's lovely buoyant texture to wrap around white peach, grapefruit pith, red apple and Meyer lemon with some cinnamon in support. A fine sheath of chalky phenolics carry some green almond bitterness through the finish, and the acidity is great here, fanning the wine out through the back palate to good length. I like this for its vim and vigour. Drink from 2025-2036. TOM KLINE, insideburgundy.com
