Knights Bridge Chardonnay Pont de Chevalier (2019)

The 2019 Pont de Chevalier is a seamless, vivacious, and mineral-driven expression of Chardonnay, delivering beautifully intertwined aromas and flavors of lemon blossom, lush stone fruits, crushed rock, flint, and crystalized ginger. A lingering sweet oak finish is accented by bright citrus and a refreshing mineral note; 12 years aging potential.

Always graceful, this is a Chardonnay that pairs at a high level with a broad range of cuisines and presentations. Enjoy with herb-crusted halibut, fresh crab, Vietnamese chicken and lemongrass dumplings, vegetable souffle or vegetable terrine.

Tasting Notes

92 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Chardonnay Pont De Chevalier is supple and forward, yet has notable complexity in its poached pear, lemon blossom, pineapple, toast, and spice-laced aromas and flavors. These all carry to a medium-bodied, nicely textured, balanced Chardonnay with notable purity, good overall freshness, and a clean finish. It's a solid, layered, textured, and satisfying Chardonnay and well worth seeking out.

91 Wine Enthusiast
This is a rich and complex white from the producer's estate, sleek and focused within a lush, voluptuous style marked by oak. Jasmine aromas lead to dense layers of pear, melon and apricot that linger around a spicy finish.

91 Wine Spectator
Plush white fruit flavors show hints of ripe tangerine, along with toasty accents. Dried mango midpalate leads to a finish loaded with cooking spice accents and caramel hints.
