Hudson Carneros Napa Valley Ladybug Chardonnay 2023
- In stock, ready to ship
If California had a vineyard classification system, Hudson would without doubt be among those to class as a Grand Cru: their wines epitomise classic Californian Chardonnay at its best, lushness and opulence matched by exceptional balance. Alongside supplying grapes to some of the most prestigious wineries in California, including Kistler, Aubert and Kongsgaard, Hudson produces an exceptional range of wines, with Chardonnay as their undisputed speciality.
Named in honour of Cristina Hudson, affectionately known as 'Ladybug', this cuvée is sourced from some of the estate's oldest Chardonnay vines. Cuttings from this vineyard were used to establish both the Little Bit and Seashell vineyards, underscoring its foundational role on the ranch.
95/100 - The 2023 Chardonnay Ladybug is brisk and very nicely delineated. Lemon confit, apricot, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper lend striking tension. I especially admire its lithe, energetic style. What a pretty and expressive wine it is. Bright saline notes extend the long, vibrant finish. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
