The fruit sources for this showstopper are Stolpman, Duvarita, Slide Hill, and Zotavich Vineyards. Each lot was produced via long barrel fermentation and enjoyed 21 months in 50% New French Barrique / 50% Used French Barrique bottling. The Andremily White Cuvee is an enticing philter, offering a heady bouquet of white blossoms, honeysuckle, peaches, and the wet stony minerality of a cool climate Chardonnay coupled with the rich oily texture of the rarest of Rhone whites. The Andremily white is rich and decadent in the mouth, while still showing plenty of acidity to remain refreshing and bright. This is certainly a wine you will have to try to believe.
97 points, "Awesome notes of buttered citrus, toasted spice, brioche, toasted almonds, and white flowers all emerge from 2022 White Cuvee, a rich, full-bodied white based on 35% Chardonnay, 28% Roussanne, 21% Marsanne, and the rest Viognier. With that classic Andremily richness and breadth, it stays flawlessly balanced, has good acidity, and a great finish. It’s a stunning white that readers should snatch up. I love it today, yet it should have 4-6 years of prime drinking, possibly longer. But why wait?" - Jeb Dunnuck
