"The 2019 Chardonnay La Source is lifted and perfumed with a delicate bouquet of chamomile, white flowers, sweet spice and yellow apples. It's more energetic on the palate, vividly ripe in style with juicy acidity to balance. Hints of gingery spice add contrast toward the close. The 2019 finishes fresh and medium in length, leaving a gentle tension and a slightly grassy note as zests of lime and a floral resonance slowly fade. Of note, the 2019 includes fruit from vines planted in 2015, which explains its more forward character."

"The 2019 Chardonnay La Source opens with touches of matchstick that give way to apricot, beeswax, dried hay and singular herbal and spice undertones. The medium-bodied palate opens bright and minerally before expanding its honey-nut flavors, and it has a long, elegant finish."

"Pale lemon. Old parchment and fresh-baked pie crust with a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon, lemon zest, crème fraîche and wet stone. Fresh, vibrant acidity with rich texture and building flavours that lead into an extraordinarily long, toasty, textured finish. Really remarkable. Best drunk slightly warmer when it's had time to open. (SCJ)"
