Seth's 2020 Marine is sourced entirely from the Loubejac vineyard (past vintages have been blends of select plots).
Tasting Notes: Delicate mineral-driven Chardonnay with notes of salted green mango, honey suckle, jasmine teas, briny minerality, chalky texture, tons of verve. OG Burgundy style, elegant Chardonnay that will have you shocked it's from the New World. We recommend decanting this youthful bottle and drinking at cellar temperature. Only 92 cases produced! Seth's wines are truly remarkable.
