TASTING NOTES FOR Jules Taylor Chardonnay Marlborough New Zealand 2024

🍷 Appearance
Pale gold with bright clarity and a fresh, youthful sheen in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, showing lemon, mandarin and grapefruit layered with white peach and crisp apple. Subtle notes of toasted almond, nougat and vanilla add complexity.

👅 Palate
Elegant and beautifully balanced, delivering juicy stone fruit, citrus and apple flavours with hints of spice and gentle oak influence. The palate has lovely weight while retaining freshness and precision.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and textural with a creamy mid-palate from wild ferment and lees work, balanced by bright acidity. The finish is long, clean and mouthwatering with lingering citrus and subtle nutty complexity.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern Marlborough Chardonnay—fresh, refined and fruit-driven rather than heavy. Combines vibrant citrus and stone fruit with gentle oak, texture and finesse.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta dishes or pork. Also excellent with fresh salads, grain dishes or lightly spiced cuisine.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A superb modern Chardonnay—fresh, textural and incredibly drinkable. A great addition to mixed dozens, especially for customers who like balance over heavy oak.

Cheers
