Pavette, Chardonnay 2022 California

Pavette, meaning "little peacock," is a California winery with the spirited motto "always be struttin'." This North Coast Chardonnay represents excellent value in the category, crafted with careful attention to optimal ripeness and partial barrel fermentation in neutral oak with lees contact. A delightful everyday Chardonnay that delivers richness without overwhelming oakiness.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw color with inviting aromas of brioche, Pink Lady apple, and baking spice. The palate shows an unctuous texture with tropical pineapple fruit flavors, complemented by lemon curd, baked apple notes, and hints of toffee, yellow apple, and vanilla. Golden stone fruits and even a touch of lime add complexity to this full-bodied yet fresh expression, finishing with great length and versatility.
