Leeu Passant Chardonnay 2021 Mullineux

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Instantly impressive with oaky essences that sway with seductive cardamom and lemon pastry cream, the 2021 Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Chardonnay is expressive with yellow apples, toasted almonds and spiced white tea. Medium-bodied, the palate possesses fantastic texture, revealing seductive weight and flavors of lemon yogurt that burst with popcorn kernel essences and layers of citrus. The wine sways with refined oak flavors before concluding with a delightfully mineral-laced finish. Wow, this is spectacular Chardonnay!

I like the gentle flint, pastry and hazelnut elements here, along with apricots, salted almonds and hints of rosemary. It’s medium- to full-bodied, beautifully flinty and saline making it so fresh and drinkable. Very textural and long.
