Benovia La Pommeraie Chardonnay 2020 – 93 Point Rated Premium White Wine

Benovia’s 2020 Russian River Valley Chardonnay offers an exquisite blend of richness and elegance, crafted from premium California grapes in Sonoma County’s renowned appellation. This full-bodied white wine has earned critical acclaim with 93 points from both Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator, highlighting its layered complexity and aging potential through 2030.

On the nose, aromas of mandarin orange blossom and Fuyu persimmon intertwine with candied ginger and mineral undertones—a testament to the vineyard’s terroir. The palate delivers a velvety texture, carrying flavors of poached pear, lemon custard, and butterscotch, complemented by hints of flaky pastry and toasted almonds. Vibrant acidity balances its opulence, while a mineral-driven finish lingers invitingly.

Crafted with meticulous care, this Chardonnay underwent indigenous yeast fermentation in French oak barrels, followed by 16 months on lees—a process that amplifies its creamy depth and nuanced complexity. Whether enjoyed now with creamy dishes or cellared for future savoring, its structured profile ensures longevity and adaptability at the table.

Perfect for special occasions or discerning palates seeking a bold yet refined white wine, this limited-production release (265 cases) pairs beautifully with seared scallops, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses. At 14.5% alcohol by volume, it delivers a powerful yet polished drinking experience.
