Domaine RoyWillamette Valley Chardonnay
About this product
Marc-André Roy and Jared Etzel established Domaine Roy and fils in 2012 to celebrate their heritage and continue the winemaking history of their fathers, Robert Roy and Michael Etzel, who founded the renowned Beaux Frères Winery in 1991. With a minimalist winemaking approach and a commitment to organic farming, these are wines of purity and transparency expressing the land from which the wines are farmed. Sourced from the Iron Filbert and Quartz Acorn vineyards, the Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed to preserve the full richness of the aromas, with fermentation and aging in French oak (5% new) for 10 months. The resulting wine shows complex, flinty, struck-match barrel ferment characters, with a complex creamy nose and white stone fruits, and a tightly wound palate, displaying delicate textural elements, subtle vanilla, green apple acidity. A compelling balance of richness with tension and freshness.
