2023 Lou Dumont Koji et Jae Hwa La Violette Chardonnay

"La Violette" Chardonnay represents Lou Dumont's white wine pinnacle for 2023, capturing Marsannay's distinctive terroir. Violet floral notes mingle with baked apple, flint and subtle vanilla from oak ageing, delivering creamy texture with precision. The entry is plush yet structured, tropical citrus unfolding mid-palate toward a saline, nutty finish of elegant persistence. This wine bridges New and Old World styles through its Japanese-Korean winemaking lens on Burgundy. Ideal alongside lobster, roast chicken or wild mushroom risotto; peak drinking 2025-2030.
