Kistler Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Les Noisetiers 2022

‘Les Noisetiers’ Chardonnay is Kistler’s multi-vineyard Chardonnay bottling based on the three Sonoma Coast vineyards from which they bottle single vineyard examples; Vine Hill, Trenton Roadhouse and Dutton Ranch. ‘Noisetiers’ means ‘hazelnut’ in French and “refers to the lightly toasted hazelnut characters manifested year in and year out from these sites.” As with the vineyard-designates, this wine is barrel fermented and aged on the lees in 25% new three year air-dried French oak barrels for 11 months, after which time it is transferred to stainless steel tank for another three months of aging before bottling.

Tasting Notes: Rich, complex aromas of ripe fruit with a delicious "noisette" note, in a Meursault-like style. The wine displays intense, fruit flavors underpinned with hints of toasty oak. The crisp acidity in the wine highlights the delicious fruit. It is richly textured with a long, lingering finish. The result is one of the most luxurious and complex white wines made in this county, possessing a minerality rare in New World Chardonnay.
