Domaine Eden Description
All of the Chardonnay is essentially estate grown at Mount Eden or at Domaine Eden. Prior to bottling the winemaking team tastes through all of the Chardonnay barrels and selects for different personalities. The Domaine Eden Chardonnay is highlighted by forward fruit, earlier drinkability and obvious hedonism and is usually composed of 60% Mount Eden and 40% Domaine Eden fruit but it varies slightly by vintage.
To preserve the terrior of these special sights the same principles apply: fermentation in Burgundy barrels (50% new), use of natural yeasts, malolactic fermentation and aging sur-lie for nine months.
As one would expect, this Chardonnay exhibits classic Mount Eden Burgundian style with detailed aromas and flavors of citrus fruit, anise, dill and earth. More open in personality than the Estate at the same age, yet with all the length of the flagship.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Rich and complex, with notes of salted hazelnut, fresh lemon curd, tangerine and Honeycrisp apple, showing a striking, steely accent of minerality and fresh acidity that help the flavors pop and the structure firm up. Reveals a whiff of white pepper. Drink now through 2035.
