Planted in the mid-1970s with massal selection, it’s vinified in used 228-liter barrels. Flamboyant, it jumps from the glass with aromas of nashi pear, peach, tangerine and warm bread. It’s full-bodied and flavorful, informed by the hot, dry summer and comparatively late picking, muscular and ample, with ripe but racy acidity and low-pressure mousse, concluding with a generous finish. It will drink very well in the near term, though it lacks the freshness of renditions like the 2016.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 points Vinous Media\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2018 Brut Nature Les Hauts Partas is a pure Chardonnay from Chouilly. The mellow, fresh flesh of Golden Delicious apples is creamy and inviting on the nose, suggesting ripeness and juiciness. A lovely smokiness hovers in the background, alongside a sense of wet oyster shell, yet the creaminess of the apple flesh and a hint of bitter apple pip set the tone. This is smooth, salty, enticing and profound - an entirely gastronomic Chardonnay of immense creaminess. Zero dosage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 g\/l\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime on Lees:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e7.5 years\u003c\/strong\u003e (90 months) sur lattes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1er Village: \"\u003c\/strong\u003eLes Hauts Partas\" in \u003cstrong\u003eChouilly, a Grand Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e village located on the Côte des Blancs, 45 year old+ at 150 m on moderated slopes with a North-East orientation.
