2023 | Chappellet Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay | Carneros Caves Cooperatives de Donnas just as we would likeVibrant, complex and impeccably polished, this wine draws you in with aromas of pineapple, orange zest, lemon custard and tropical flowers, as well as rich notes of brioche, crme fraiche, vanilla bean, nutmeg and clove.
