Littorai, Charles Heintz Chardonnay other_regions the new Les Nogers is

the new Les Nogers is more fleshy and textural yet balanced by significant dry extract and acidity

essence of red currant and spice notes that are trimmed in a deft touch of wood

menthol and liqueur-like dark berry fruit scents though here there are the additions of more earth and spice elements

This is elegant and full of lively cherry

Simply put

Littorai, Charles Heintz Chardonnay other_regions the new Les Nogers isThe 2020 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard is endowed with notable density and power. Orchard fruit, white flowers, almond and strong mineral accents are front and center. Texturally, the 2020 has a phenolic like quality that is distinctive, but not especially typical of Heintz Chardonnays. I would give it a another year or two in bottle to see if some of the edges soften.
