True to its name, which translates from French as \"The Hazelnuts,\" the wine opens with vivid aromatics of toasted hazelnut, lemon curd, crisp yellow apple, and white flowers, accented by subtle crushed-flint minerality and warm brioche. On the palate, it delivers a seamless balance between rich, creamy texture and a lively spine of bright acidity, carrying layers of ripe peach and Meyer lemon through to a long, refined finish framed by subtle French oak.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBehind its polished profile lies an intriguing viticultural detail: Kistler relies entirely on a proprietary heritage Chardonnay clone originally imported from Burgundy in the early 20th century, often referred to as the \"Kistler Clone.\" This specific vine selection naturally produces unusually tiny, thick-skinned berries with high skin-to-juice ratios, giving the wine its signature concentrated aromatic profile and distinctive hazelnut character without relying heavily on aggressive oak treatment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCrafted from low-yielding, estate-managed sites across the Sonoma Coast, the 2023 vintage was aged in French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its raw complexity. It serves as an exceptional companion to pan-seared sea scallops in brown butter, roasted heirloom chicken, or a rich lobster risotto.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 points, James Suckling. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50200726929665,"sku":null,"price":74.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/0329\/0113\/files\/kistler-chardonnay-noisetiers.png?v=1787074869","url":"https:\/\/casewinelife.com\/es\/products\/2023-kistler-chardonnay-les-noisetiers-750ml","provider":"Case Wine Life Order Wine Online ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
