Description
Clear and precise, the 2022 Walter Scott ‘La Combe Verte’ Chardonnay opens with notes of noble reduction: struck flint and matchstick. Give the wine some air and those reductive notes transition into steely aromas of graphite, rock salt, and oyster shell, with white peach, orange zest, honeysuckle, and orange blossom adding layers of complexity. The wine’s structure is pulled taut between steely, minerally acidity and a doughy softness lent by full malo. An excellent example of how great Oregon Chardonnay can be.
