Bodega Chacra Chardonnay Mainque 2023

97 James Suckling Review Date: 05/2024 Apple, brioche, flint, pear and slate aromas with hints of apple tart follow through to a full body with gorgeous richness and depth, yet it grows on the palate. Very vertical and goes deep. Best ever. Drink or hold. A collaboration between Piero Incisa della Rocchetta (of the Sassicaia family) and Jean-Marc Roulot, Mainqué is Chacra’s finely tuned expression of Patagonian Chardonnay. Farmed biodynamically in the Río Negro Valley, the 2023 vintage offers a stunning balance of ripe citrus, natural acidity, and subtle oak influence—leaning into elegance rather than opulence.
