L'Ecole No. 41 Columbia Valley Chardonnay Washington 2024 Rated 90WE

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 90
This is a Chardonnay for the fans of richness and butter. Its lemon and grilled pineapple aromas are joined by notes of sweet freesia and tangy lemon balm. The well-executed wine's lemon curd, browned butter and sage flavors glide along a creamy texture, backed by just enough acidity. Whip up a batch of gnocchi with a creamy mushroom sauce to pair with this wine.
