2023 Ayoub Chardonnay - Mo's Reserve

I am thrilled to introduce to you my 2023 Chardonnay Mo’s Reserve! I have been making Chardonnay for 16 years, and the idea of making a reserve Chardonnay was always on my mind. The 2023 vintage was so special, it convinced me to make it! Why does this wine deserve "Mo's Reserve" name? It is a blend of my favorite barrels in the cellar, each one standing out as exceptional. These barrels were aged an additional eight months, allowing the wine to develop greater harmony and complexity. 

The wine sumptuous nose welcomes you with a medley of citrus fruit, Bosc pear, toasted hazelnut, lemon meringue pie and baking spices.
Exhilarating, vibrant and broad on the palate with subtle notes of pear, pink grapefruit, baking spice weaves through the citrus landscape. A hint of salty minerality emerges at the long and exuberant finish.The palate is a remarkable balance of tension and grace. Cellaring will reward those who have patience. Best from 2026 to 2040.
Barrel fermented and aged for 18 month in 20% new French oak barrels.
