The 2023 Chardonnay Ma Belle Fille is reminiscent of summertime, its warm peach aromas complemented by wafts of vanilla, pie crust, whipped cream and spice. The full-bodied palate offers impressively concentrated, spicy flavors. Its luxurious, satiny texture is foiled by vibrant acidity, which lends the wine a shimmery feel, and it has a hauntingly long finish. (EB)

The 2023 Chardonnay Ma Belle Fille offers a beguiling mix of aromatics, fruit and structure. Dried pear, crushed flowers, mint, white pepper, slate and dried herbs all race across the palate. Strong mineral and graphite notes emerge with coaxing to round things out. This needs time. (AG)

Elegant and polished, with a juicy core of Meyer lemon, white peach, freshly grated ginger, lemon verbena and neroli, plus a touch of orange sherbet. Spice, honeycomb and bergamot notes linger on the long, expressive and juicy finish. Drink now through 2039. (MW)
