Clos des Fous Locura 2 Chardonnay 2017

A bright and fruity chardonnay with hints of straw and stone. Medium to full body, sliced pear and lemon character. And a long and flavorful finish. No malo gives this a linear backbone and brightness. Drink now.

Feb 2017 - Green-tinged straw. Lively, mineral-accented aromas of pear and Meyer lemon are joined by hints of jasmine and anise that emerge with air. Silky, concentrated and seamless in texture, offering energetic citrus and orchard fruit flavors that slowly deepen on the back half. Finishes sappy, minerally and quite long; echoes of citrus pith and dusty minerals add closing cut. -- Josh Raynolds
