Chardonnay is Domaine Bless's single-varietal still white wine from the 2024 vintage, produced in a limited run of 609 bottles at the winery's estate in Niki, Hokkaido. It shows an elegant bouquet of white flowers, peach, and white peach blossom with subtle buttery nuances. The acidity is gently restrained, while a long, mineral-driven finish gives the wine an elegant, refined character.
A refined expression of Chardonnay from Hokkaido's Niki district — floral, gently buttery, and carried by a long mineral finish.
