Arnaud Combier Blanc-Sain / 750ml

All Chardonnay brought up mostly in tank with 30% in foudre, the 2024 Vin De France Blanc Sain is a Riche, intense, and flavorful white. It has terrific and classic Chardonnay notes of stone fruits, toasted bread, and white flowers on the nose, and it's beautifully balanced on the palate, with nicely integrated oak, clean acidity, and a great finish. I love its overall balance as well as its textbook Chardonnay character, and it reminds me of a terrific Meursault. Bravo. Drink this lovely effort over the coming 4-5 years. Drink 2026-2031. 92 Points Jeb Dunnuck
