Chardonnay 2022 N° 76 Spicy • Luscious • Elegant
For Jean-Charles Boisset, California Chardonnays often possess an underlying SPICY quality, the hallmark of grapes fermented and aged in especially fine new oak barrels. While ripe grapes give this wine LUSCIOUS flavor, there’s an unmistakable restraint to N° 76 which marks it as undeniably ELEGANT!

Tasting Notes
Our N° 76 is richly perfumed and boasts a vibrant bouquet of zesty lemon and white peach on the nose. This invigorating and lively Chardonnay bursts with luscious flavors of tangy tangerine and succulent pear, complemented by nuanced notes of crisp apple giving this wine fresh minerality for a multi-layered taste sensation. With a full-bodied texture that is silky with a rounded edge, it culminates in a lovely and enduring finish.
