"The Chardonnay version of L'Ensemble, the 2022 Chardonnay Affinites is a barrel selection and a vintage and appellation wine. It pours a brilliant yellow/silver color and leads with notes of citrus oils, delicate toast, wet stone, white mushroom, and white peach. Medium-bodied and approachable, it floats on the palate with good extract and should age with ease over the coming 6-8 years." —Audrey Frick

"A beautifully floral nose includes bits of hyacinth and chamomile to go along with ripe pear and tangy ginger notes. The Affinités feels juicy and crisp in the mouth, with its blazing acidity and flavors of guava, chamomile tea, lemon grass and honeycomb. The wine spent 13 months in French oak, 25% new." —Wine Enthusiast
