DuMOL Chardonnay Chloe Ritchie-Lorenzo Old Vines 2015

VM95: The 2015 Chardonnay Chloe Ritchie-Lorenzo is rich, unctuous and super expressive. The combination of fruit from Ritchie and texture from Lorenzo works beautifully here. Apple, pear, jasmine and almond overtones add lovely shades of nuance throughout. This is a stellar wine from Du Mol. Two thousand fifteen is the last vintage in which the Chloe is a blend of fruit from Ritchie and Lorenzo. Starting with 2016, Chloe is 100% Ritchie.
