With the 2010 vintage, Henry of Pelham replaces both the “Barrel Fermented” and “Reserve” Chard tiers with this wine, now called “Estate.” It’s made from 100% Short Hills Bench estate Chardonnay. The nose shows bright, clean apple-crisp aromas with touches of spice, cream and poached pear. It has good tension on the palate, with oak in tune with the ripe, layered fruits. It’s delicious through the finish with judicious use of oak, balanced with the ripe fruits.
Pure, clean and elegant with a refined texture and beautiful, delicate flavours of citrus, apple and almond; bright minerality and excellent length. Not just for toasting, this beautiful Champagne would be perfect with everything from oysters to foie gras to french fries.
A stunningly attractive Chardonnay from a much-overlooked region. Straw-coloured with a lime tint. Spicy, toasty, apple nose with a light barnyard note. Medium-bodied, dry and elegant, with well-balanced apple and green peach flavours. Lively and fresh on the palate with great length.
Pale golden. Fresh nose of toasted bread, fresh mushroom, citrus, chalk and a touch of rancio. Very refreshing and energetic; with its sharp acidity, it seems more evolved than the 2005 tasted just before. Distinctive.
Pale yellow with green reflections. Discreet nose, minerally, only hints of white peach and ginger. Light body, sharp acidity, delicate taste of white fruits. Round finish. Drink now.
Pungent Muscat floral perfume with some green herbal notes lead the way for crisply dry peach and apricot flavours with tight mineral and lively acidity. Peachy, floral and dry mineral notes linger on the finish.
Traditional method Blanc de Blanc, 100% Chardonnay. A stream of fine bubbles and gentle mousse, aromas of brioche and orchard fruits followed by a well-structured palate of citrus, green apple and stone fruit, with generous but still lean mouthfeel underpinned by excellent acidity through a persistent finish.
