Description
We've had an eye on James Kinglake's amazing organic Chardonnays for a while, but with frequent losses to frosts and hail, he's never had enough - until now!
We've managed to coax out of him a few barrels-worth of Chardonnay, at least one of which was headed for his top cuvée 'Etoile', until we begged him to sell it to us.

Tasting Notes
A bright and taut, energetic style of Chardonnay, which ratchets up the crystalline purity of the Limoux mountainside fruit, and adds just enough super-subtle oak - Delicious.
Exceptional with shellfish and prawns (James is rather fond of his oysters), this will also accompany Sunday's roast chicken with gusto.
