2020 Holloran Chardonnay Le Pavillon
Tasting notes
The aromas from the glass feature ripe pear with baking spice notes, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, crispy golden delicious apple flavors sit with fresh acidity, leading to pure fruit flavors on the finish, which extends nicely.
Try with Scallops with Tarragon Butter Sauce or Cow’s milk cheeses.

This Holloran Chardonnay comes from our Le Pavillon vineyard in the Dundee Hills. The vines were planted in 1972 with the Draper selection of Chardonnay. They are own-rooted.
This vineyard is farmed organic and biodynamic. These very old vines have deep roots, providing powerful ripening of the fruit, providing deep flavors and a very long finish.
The soils are volcanic, Jory, a deep, ancient red silty clay loam. The elevation is 600’, with a south aspect.
The substantial acid profile and fruit depth will help it age very well in a cool cellar for 8 – 15 years. In early years it will benefit from decanting.
