2017 JAX Y3 Chardonnay

2017 JAX Y3 Chardonnay
The Craft
Our Chardonnay grapes come from a single vineyard in Carneros that is influenced by the cooling effect of the Pacific Ocean allowing for a long growing season. The grapes are fermented in French concrete tanks and aged in barrels 3+ years old. Fermenting Chardonnay in concrete like in Chablis enhances the aromatics of the varietal, increases the mineral characteristics and allows the flavor of the vineyard to be the star.Tasting Notes
The Y3 Chardonnay hits the mark on the palate, delivering concentrated crisp citrus, green pear and apple notes. Fresh aromatics and Chablis like acidity, this wine is a delicious expression of a picture-perfect vintage. The length and balance of this Chardonnay will leave a lasting impression that is enjoyable now through 2019.Vintage | 2017 |
