The 2008 “8” Chardonnay was Winemaker Luc Morlet's second Chardonnay crafted at Vineyard 7&8. It shows even more depth and seamless character than the great 2007 vintage.

This chardonnay exhibits a bright golden color, with an intense and complex bouquet of candied lemon, citrus oils, orange blossom, ripe William pear, intermixed with notes of crushed stone and a hint of hazelnut. Full bodied with a cream and seamless texture, the 2008 has a purity and lingering finish of mineral notes that highlight the white volcanic rocky soils from the estate.
