Chateau Montelena Chardonnay 2020

Size: 750ml

Wine Advocate: 93

"Golden straw-colored in the glass, the wine opens with cinnamon and ripe peach, bolstered by aromas of melon, fig, and pear. More fruity than floral upon release, there’s nonetheless plenty of honeysuckle and spice, softening to green apple and vanilla. Initially fused with lemon curd and ripe orange, there’s dynamic tension transitioning to the midpalate between the suppleness of summer stonefruit and the austere acid beneath. The citrus lingers as well, amidst a billowy texture that bolsters the bare minerality, contrasted only by the whisper-soft hint of fresh baked bread. Bright and fresh, ripe apricot along with orange marmalade lend a slight sweetness peppered by toasted almond and clove." —winemaker

"The 2020 Chardonnay was released in October 2022. As usual, it's a non-malolactic fermentation wine, matured in a relatively small proportion of new French oak, and so it reveals hints of apple, tangerine and lime on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it's sappy, a bit linear and vibrant on the palate, finishing crisp and long. I've capped the aging estimate at a decade, but past vintages have aged successfully for 20 years or more, depending on your preferences." —Wine Advocate

"Step into the spotlight and make a statement with Beluga Gold Line Vodka. Its exquisite taste and captivating opening ritual command attention, ensuring it is the vodka of choice for discerning drinkers and those who crave the best.

"Beluga Gold Line has a unique serving ritual – the special wax-sealed cork, guaranteeing the quality and authenticity of the drink, should be opened with the elegant hammer and brush that accompany the bottle. Each bottle has an individual serial number on the label which makes it even more desirable.

"Pure spring water combined with a meticulously distilled spirit and an extensive 90-day rest period in the ecological haven of Montenegro, make Beluga Gold Line vodka especially smooth, allowing its flavors to reach their full potential. Each sip reveals layers of distinction and nuance, hints of vanilla, white pepper, and sage, a testament to the masterful artistry behind its creation." —producer

"Very intense ruby red color, the nose reveals an enticing range of steeped cherry and fig cake flavors with accents of dried thyme, pomegranate and espresso. In the mouth it is creamy and with lightly firm tannins and acidity that’s just at the right level to accentuate and perpetuate the flavors. The whole tasting is embellished with a very pleasant tannic texture, which fades towards a spiced finish of excellent persistence." —winemaker

"Introducing Courvoisier XO Royal, a blend inspired by our historic cognacs that graced the royal courts of Europe. In the early 1900’s, Britain’s King Edward VII even commissioned his own blend, Edward VII Reserve, of which a few bottles can still be found in the Paradis Cellar in Jarnac – the starting point for our Master Blender, Patrice Pinet, to revive the perfect marriage of Fins Bois de Jarnac and Grande Champagne that is XO Royal." —producer
