Littorai, Charles Heintz Chardonnay Brut Zero Such a sweet

Such a sweet

The nose is subtly aromatic with dark fruit

This behemoth demands 8-10 years of cellaring but should ultimately reward patient cellaring in a big way

concluding with an astringent aftertaste

It's still rich and full-bodied

Littorai, Charles Heintz Chardonnay Brut Zero Such a sweetThe 2020 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard is endowed with notable density and power. Orchard fruit, white flowers, almond and strong mineral accents are front and center. Texturally, the 2020 has a phenolic like quality that is distinctive, but not especially typical of Heintz Chardonnays. I would give it a another year or two in bottle to see if some of the edges soften.
