I drank this on two occasions. Straight from the box, at “room” temp and straight from the
fridge at “way too cold” temperature, or so I thought.. This type of polar experience in terms of temperature usually highlights a wines imperfection. The colder option is usually the most telling, as insipid wine offers nothing but wetness when too cold. The GC, as expected, is anything but insipid and delighted at both ends of the temperature spectrum.
This wine was surprisingly delicious straight from the fridge. Likewise, straight out of the box the wine was also wonderful. It showed me the complexity of the wine and the depth of flavour too. A wine balanced with acidity and richness. There are notes of lemon and vanilla custard, chantilly cream and dry tropical fruits. Despite the two notes of dairy, there is nothing garish about the wine, nothing buttery or overblown. And, whilst it is full of flavour, so much of that generosity is driven by ripe fruit and beautifully handled acidity. The GC chardonnay is a wine that offers Chardonnay expression with flavour, and it does so unapologetically. There is, thankfully, a way for these top end wines to taste of the grape that makes them, without the baggage of winemaker artifice. I’ve spoken before of the hand of Farr, and the ease with which these wines dance so intricately and beautifully with the appearance of ease. It is this simple elegance that is the skill, and the intricate complexity, that doesn’t appear to be so, that is the joy. As always the GC is a
benchmark wine for Chardonnay lovers
