The 2021 La Mailloche Chardonnay comes from Arbois, from vines on strong soils of degraded Lias material over limestone, and every time, the wine shows a bitter touch in the finish and very good acidity. In this vintage, the wine is sharper and fresher. All these Chardonnays age in topped-up barrels for two winters, so the 2021s were still in barrel when I visited them in June 2023; but they should be bottled soon to make space for the 2023 crop in a few months. 94-96 points
