2017 Vie di Romans, Curie Climat Chardonnay, Friuli Isonzo 6x75cl

Eric Guido 94.5

There’s an attractive candied sweetness to the bouquet of the 2017 Chardonnay Curie as it blends ripe melon and nectarines with traces of crushed rocks. There’s a purity within coupled with a salt core of minerality, showcasing vivid notes of pear and raw honey. The 2017 finishes with a lingering concentration and spice, tapering off with admirable length and potency. Possibly the longest-lived of the three Climat tasted today.
