Domaine Naturaliste Artus chardonnay 2024

This is where Dukes starts to ratchet things up and introduce a whole new level of complexity and layers into his wine. It's loaded with a striking combination of butterscotch, stone fruit, and a hefty hit of oak, albeit one that's integrated and fits snugly within the wine. The palate is concentrated, showing a nice balance of stone fruit, minerals, and a chalky acidity that sustains the finish. It's a multi-layered wine of deep and lasting intrigue, and it will certainly handle some cellaring.
