2023 Lumière Chardonnay
Our 19th vintage of Lumière Chardonnay, offers aromas of toasty brioche, Golden apples, Asian pears, and lemongrass, followed by bright, rich flavors of crisp apple, pear, walnut and vanilla. Beautifully balanced and perfect now but designed to age gracefully for many years.
Food pairing: Dungeness crab with lemon butter dripping off your elbows. Trust us.
Movie pairing: Harold and Maude
FOUNDERS NOTES:
Ah, Lumière. We love crisp, clean chardonnay produced in cooler sites and aged with judicious oak influence, such as we've enjoyed from producers in villages such as Chassagne Montrachet and from California producers like Stony Hill. Lumière is our attempt to deliver that kind of chardonnay experience. Best enjoyed with little pieces of Dungeness crab all over your face and lemon butter dripping off your chin. First produced in 2005, the older vintages are drinking beautifully still.
