Kumeu River versus Burgundy Chardonnay
Served blind in a tasting organized by UK merchant Farr Vintners, Kumeu was the clear winner over Leflaive and Sauzet Puligny Montrachet and Javiller Meursault, all from the same 2012 vintage! |

2012 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay
$40 bottle
Auckland, New Zealand
93 Points Wine Spectator "Sleek and generous, with peach, pear, spice and honey notes, supported by refreshing, vibrant acidity. The spice and toasted nut notes gain momentum on the long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2022. 5,500 cases made."
