Rising star Oregon producer. For those in the know Oregon has superb climatic conditions similar to Burgundy!
Wow! That was our first reaction when we tasted this. Grand Cru Burgundy quality! Made by Alban Duboulieu, a native French who honed his skills with the famous Pierre Millemann of Burgundy.
Flagship Chardonnay of Abbott Claim - without a doubt.
Truly impressive! Limited production of less than 3,000 bottles.
The storied vines of Temperance Hill sit high on the roof of the Eola-Amity Hills, on a cold, windswept plateau, lending all their purity and extract to a wine cut for longevity.
Natively fermented and aged on its lees for twelve months in barrels followed by six months in a stainless-steel tank. Kept unfiltered ahead of bottling.
Rated Vinous 94 pts and JR 17.5+/20.
Young and extremely promising winemaker - Alban Duboulieu. Decanter wine magazine already spotted him and featured him as the rising stars of Oregon!
