Even harder to find than the Pinot Noir.

In fact, the only store to list any (in New York) sells this for $119.

The winery says:

The fruit was harvested at a low temperature and pressed slowly for 2 hours. The “Coeur” or heart of the press and the other press fraction were separated for fermentation. The wine undergoes aging in a blend of Rare Nuance French Oak barrels sourced from the Burgundian cooper Marc Plantagenet, with 16% being new to impart rich flavors. The majority of the aging takes place in neutral oak barrels, ensuring subtlety and balance, resulting in a nuanced and well-rounded final finish. The wine undergoes both alcohol and malolactic fermentation in the barrel. Aged for 10 months in barrel.

This Chardonnay has a clean golden color. The nose is deep and subtle. The palate is intense and concentrated while keeping delicate notes of citrus, and white flower. The finish has a distinctive elegance.

When you consider the DRC whites sell for $10,000 to $15,000, this one looks like a relative bargain. Especially at the best price anywhere by $30.
