Niew Vineyards Chardonnay 2023 is a medium-bodied, elegant Chardonnay white wine from Willamette Valley in Oregon. Winemaker Tai-Ran Niew is one of the most promising winemaking talents to emerge in Oregon in recent years. He farms his vineyards using natural, no-till principles and works with minimal intervention in the cellar.
The wine is characterized by a harmonious balance between freshness and depth. You will find notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle minerality, accompanied by a silky-smooth structure and a persistent finish.
Critics have scored Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes from Château de la Maltroye as one of the top 5 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes wines.
Jean-Pierre Cournut unequivocally called 2022 "a great vintage". It is more precise than 2020 and more readable as well in terms of the underlying terroir.
