Weekend Wine... Eric Chevalier Chardonnay

The Wine... Eric Chevalier's Chardonnay is an amazing example of soil transmitted via plant to wine: it seems so utterly terroir-driven and of its homeland to me. I got a nose-full of minerals from this Eric's wine. Chardonnay notes are in the wine, but I thought pure mineral really drove the flavor, made me want to have it in our shop. The source of this character is a vineyard full of sandstone, silex and quartz. An amazing value from Kermit Lynch who says, " It is crisp, clean, flinty and easy to down. Some folks buy cases at a time."
