TN: Thomas Morey Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023

[Waiters Friend]

G'day

A French wine that actually has the grape variety on the label. Pale yellow colour and bright in the glass.

The nose is restrained at first, and benefits from some swirling in the glass. It opens up to a predominantly stone fruit nose- delicate white peach and light nectarine - with some savoury and nutty notes. There's also some apricot kernel, a modest hint of citrus and a whiff of vanilla.

The palate is fuller than the nose would suggest. The fruit seems a little riper, a touch more citrus (salty lemon) and there's more of the savoury and secondary characters. There's also a moderately grippy mouthfeel (presumably oak-derived) and a good line of acid. Medium length.

This wine has grown on us as it evolves in the glass from an uncertain start. It might benefit from an initial decant.

Cheers
Allan
