William Fèvre 2013 Espino Gran Cuvée Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Espino Gran Cuvée
Variety: Chardonnay Maipo Valley
Winery: William Fèvre /

Fleshy, oxidized aromas hint at complexity but fall more toward wheat, wax and waywardness. Round in body, with vital acidity, this tastes of creamy oak, peach, dried apricot and lemon. This French-owned Chilean operation has been striving for years to make Chablis-style Chardonnay in the Andes; so far the results haven’t been convincing.
