The fire and COVID vintage. Guillaume Boudet said: ‘That wines like this exist after all we went through is pretty cool!’ Deep gold. Rich and much more evolved than the 2021! Green notes underneath. A little sweet-and-sour effect. Hint of butterscotch. But persistent. (JR)

This shows the ripeness of the vintage, with aromas of dried apples, pineapple, honey and light butterscotch. Full-bodied and very flavorful, with density and depth. A honeycomb-on-toast aftertaste.

The 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard shows greater focus and tension than the Debut, along with the natural richness that is so characteristic of this site. Lemon confit, honeysuckle, white flowers and a kiss of French oak all grace this attractive Chardonnay from Hyde De Villaine. There's real depth and intensity here.
