The barrels were 20% new oak from the forest of Allier, coopered by Rousseau, Damy, and Dargaud \u0026amp; Jaegle. After undergoing 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for ten months and bottled in August 2011.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe Clones\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe vineyard’s 30 acres of Chardonnay are planted with three different clones. The blend of clones in the 2010 vintage is 61% See, 21% Rued and 18.0% Spring Mountain.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tComplex nose with intense citrus and floral aromas of gardenia and honeysuckle, plus a minerality reminiscent of wet pebbles. A note of hazelnut and spice from the elegant oak carries through on the palate. Great balance and mouthfeel, with a lingering finish and long aging potential but delightful to drink right now.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"There’s a lot of lees influence on this wine, which gives it a sourdough taste and creamy mouthfeel. It’s dense in tropical fruit, citrus, green apple and honey notes, with a touch of sweet, smoky oak. A dry, complex, multilayered wine, this will gain traction with 2–4 years in the cellar. — S.H\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t- Wine Enthusiast (December 2012), \u003cstrong\u003e94 pts \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marimar Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948776353839,"sku":"C1EE333000CHS","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/Marimar_MasiaChard_bottle.jpg?v=1771483506","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/marimar-estate-la-masia-chardonnay-2010","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
