The 2005 Le Pin is a very pretty wine perhaps a bit more floral and savory and less opulent than it often is

Nicolas-Jay 'Affinites' Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, USA 2022 Atelier It’s round and rich inThe Chardonnay version of L'Ensemble, the 2022 Chardonnay Affinites is a barrel selection and a vintage and appellation wine. It pours a brilliant yellow silver color and leads with notes of citrus oils, delicate toast, wet stone, white mushroom, and white peach. Medium bodied and approachable, it floats on the palate with good extract and should age with ease over the coming 6 8 years. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
