Velich Tiglat Chardonnay 2021 750ml

Vinous 97 Points |  The 2021 Tiglat is a pure Chardonnay from the oldest vines of the estate, planted in 1959. Smoothness dominates the nose, which offers almost salty hints of lanolin, a touch of Mirabelle and a lovely note of straw. The palate is intense, concentrated and pervasive, with uncompromising nakedness, dynamicism and drive, dripping with lemon brightness, all bound up in earthiness reminiscent of fresh cep mushroom and profound, cooling limestone. Clarity is everything here. The finish is long, serene, touching and memorable. (Bone-dry). Tiglat, which comes from the original plantings from 1959, is the crown jewel of the line-up. The wine is fermented naturally and kept on the full lees for at least 24 months.
