Novellum Vin de France Chardonnay 2022

James Suckling : 91 Points

(3/31/2023) Quite an aromatic chardonnay here, with discerning notes of sliced green apples, melon and lemon zest. Round and textured, with simple apple pith and nectarines in the pristine yet flavorful palate. Lots of fruit in the round, medium- to full-bodied palate. Drink now.

Wine Spectator : 89 Points

(10/15/2023) There's a salty, racy counterpoint to the warm, rich fruit profile in this nicely balanced white, with warm spiced apple, hay and sun tea notes edged in fleur de sel and powered by succulent acidity. Open-knit and medium-bodied, with a savory dusting of dried thyme. Drink now.
