"The 2023 Chardonnay Charles Heintz is the most complete of the Chardonnays I tasted. Layered and dynamic in the glass, the Heintz has so much to offer. This site seems very well suited to John Raytek's style. Orange confit, mint, white pepper, tangerine oil and graphite are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. There's gorgeous tension and nuance that build through the mid-palate and into the finish."
