Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022
The 2019 Chardonnay Carex marries power, textural intensity and energy. This site at DuMOL, planted on tight meter by meter spacing (unusual for Chardonnay) is incredibly distinctive. I would give the 2019 a few years to soften. Apricot, lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, sage and mint build into the expressive, resonant finish.
