La Follette, Sonoma Coast (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2020

Feb 21, 2023

By Rich Cook

 Greg La Follette may be known as a Pinot Noir master, but you will agree that Chardonnay is an equal on his resume after tasting this elegant wine.  It’s got the flavors of a young white Burgundy, but the approachability of a structured but generous California example.  The acid keeps the fruit singing, and the oak load is perfectly chosen.  Wines like this show why Chardonnay is still number one.  Sign me up!
