Le Souvenir Sierra Madre Chardonnay 2011 - Paul Lato
An exceptional Californian Chardonnay by Paul Lato: perfect balance of intensity, freshness, and elegance, rivaling the finest Puligny-Montrachets.
“Le Souvenir” cuvée, sourced from the Sierra Madre Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley, represents one of the finest expressions of Californian Chardonnay in a Burgundian-inspired style.
The 2011 vintage, shaped by a cool growing season, produced wines of remarkable freshness, with vibrant acidity and outstanding balance.

Nose: Aromas of candied lemon, white flowers, roasted almond, with subtle buttery and vanilla hints.

Palate: Rich and structured, yet vibrant, with a precise acidity that drives energy and length. The texture is silky, balancing ripe fruit, minerality, and delicate oak.
-
Finish: Long, elegant, and persistent, with lingering notes of hazelnut and wet stone.
