Hyde De Villaine Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard 2017

The legend of Burgundy and President of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Conti, Aubert de Villaine partners with his cousin, Larry Hyde, affectionately crowned by the SF Gate as, “The King of Carneros“.  Together they account for hundreds of 90+ scores, consistent appearances in Top 100 wines of the year list but more importantly, dozens of years of making some of the highest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in their respective countries. With the 2017 Chardonnay, the pair struck a particular high note, making a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with candied peaches, apricots, walnuts and some saline.

 

96 Points, James Suckling

Wonderful, juicy white with cooked pineapple, praline and biscuit. Some apricots. Full-bodied, tangy and edgy with lots of energetic fruit. Focused and lively. Minerality is the word. Drink or hold.

The legend of Burgundy and President of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Conti, Aubert de Villaine partners with his cousin, Larry Hyde The King of Carneros“.  Both are masters of the Burgundian varieties with a literal trail of 90+ scores in their wake and countless appearances on top 100 lists. Together – they’re even more unstoppable. Hyde Vineyard may be the best vineyard in the US for high-end Chardonnay. Every year a few wines with the ‘Hyde Vineyard’ tag are designated in Top 10 lists across every publication. Aubert makes a pretty good one too. Each year his DRC Montrachet comes with a price tag of about $5,000 a bottle. The 2017 is an absolute gem. It’s the kind of Chardonnay that proudly stands up to great White Burgundy.
