Nosing the 2020 Cervaro della Sala is like waking into a French bakery in the early morning, with notes of lemon oil, butter cream, crusty bread, fresh dough and vanilla bean contrasted by a whiff of crushed oyster shell, which may not be on the menu, but still works perfectly here. This glides effortlessly across the palate with the silkiest of textures, steadily gaining in tension, as mineral-drenched orchard fruits give way to sour melon and, finally, pretty inner florals. The 2020 lingers impossibly long and lightly structured, displaying notes of candied citrus enriched by almond custard. I'd love to toss this blend of 92% Chardonnay and 8% Grechetto into a blind tasting of white Burgundy. Beautifully done. (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2022)

はちみつのように濃厚 白トリュフのタヤリンと合わせて。 > レモンオイル、バタークリーム、カリカリのパン、焼きたての生地、バニラビーンズの香りと、砕いたカキの殻の香りが対照的だ。ミネラルを含んだ果樹園の果実が酸味のあるメロンへと変化し、最後には可憐な花の香りが漂う。 2020年はありえないほど長く、軽く骨格のある余韻が続き、砂糖漬けの柑橘類のノートがアーモンド・カスタードによって豊かになる。シャルドネ92%とグレケット8%のこのブレンドは、ブルゴーニュの白ワインのブラインドテイスティングにぜひ出してみたい。 美しく仕上がっている。(エリック・ギド、ヴィナス誌、2022年11月)

Creamy notes of golden apple, buttered bread, & vanilla on the nose. Buttery like a Chardonnay up front. Acid & green notes on the mid-palate—kiwi, green grass, green apple, & pear. Crisp, honeyed apple finish with notes of honeysuckle, white flower, caramel, & vanilla custard. Unique wine, and pairs beautifully with my spicy Massaman curry.
