Description
Experience the EnRoute Brumaire Chardonnay
Winemaker Description
EnRoute Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, “Brumaire” is named for the fog that gently envelops the vineyards in Russian River Valley, creating the perfect climate to nurture our fruit to ideal ripeness.
A gushing acidity upon entry invigorates the palate with flavors reminiscent of lemon meringue. The palate continues to evolve into a lifted finish of baked-apple and confectionary spices.
Memo Summary Notes
The 2023 EnRoute “Brumaire” Chardonnay is a flagship white from EnRoute Winery, a project founded by the partners behind the legendary Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel. Named after the French word for “fog” (brumaire), this wine is a tribute to the morning mist of the Russian River Valley that creates the cool-climate conditions Chardonnay loves.
