Walter Scott, Cuvee Anne Chardonnay

Walter Scott, Cuvee Anne ChardonnayThe 2021 Chardonnay Cuve Anne opens with an engaging blend of savory lime zests, mint and hints of chamomile complicating green apples. Soft and round, this flows across the palate with a mineral tinged combination of ripe orchard fruits and liquid stone. Zesty and citrus tinged, it finishes with a subtle tension while leaving the palate perfectly refreshed. This is a great introduction to the Walter Scott style at a more digestible price point.
