2006 L’Avenir Laroche Chardonnay 85 Points

2006 L’Avenir Laroche Chardonnay 85 Points
Fragrant, peach, apricot, ripe lime and green pepper, Complex, full mouth feel, lovely mid palate, juicy, fresh needs time for fruit acid/oak to integrate..
From 2009 until 2012 One of the most consistent South African Chardonnay, the 2007 is also excellent and very well priced, could it be the Chablis heritage of the owner (Michel Laroche), and it’s influence as well as expertise in the vineyards that make this one of the best Chardonnay around ?
