Opening with rich, fruit aromatics, notes of mandarin orange, Asian pear, honey dew, and a touch of nutmeg, this 2017 Chardonnay explodes out of the glass. On the palate, you are met with warm notes of crème brulée, baked spice, and hints of honey suckle. This layered, integrated, and well-balanced wine is bright, yet creamy with a long finish.

No 76 recalls 1976, the year a young Jean-Charles had his first experience of phenomenal wines and was thus ushered into the exciting, multidimensional world of flavor. 1976 was also the year of the famous tasting in Paris that put California wines on the international map.
