DuMol Chloe Ritchie Chardonnay 2023

DuMOL’s Chloe Ritchie Chardonnay 2023 is a polished, site-driven California white that showcases the finesse and precision the winery is known for. Sourced from the acclaimed Ritchie Vineyard, this wine balances rich Chardonnay character with a bright, mineral-edged style that feels distinctly совремan and classically composed. It’s a compelling expression of Sonoma Coast terroir and one of the reasons Ritchie Vineyard has become such a celebrated name in premium Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous straw-gold color with excellent clarity. The nose is layered and refined, opening with citrus oil, white peach, pear, and green apple, followed by hints of crushed flowers, wet stone, toasted almond, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, the wine is generous yet tightly focused, with a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a saline, mineral finish. Expect flavors of lemon curd, stone fruit, and orchard fruit carried by a precise, cool-climate structure. It should have the concentration and balance to age gracefully for several years, developing more savory complexity with time.

Production
Chloe Ritchie Chardonnay comes from the highly regarded Ritchie Vineyard in California, a site known for producing fruit with exceptional intensity, purity, and natural freshness. The vineyard’s marine influence and well-drained soils help preserve acidity while building ripe, expressive Chardonnay character. DuMOL is known for careful, selective harvesting and meticulous cellar work, allowing the vineyard’s identity to remain at the forefront. Vinification typically emphasizes precision and texture, with controlled fermentation and thoughtful oak use to enhance complexity without overwhelming the wine’s clarity.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is an excellent match for roast chicken, seared scallops, lobster, crab, halibut, and creamy pasta dishes. It also works beautifully with dishes that include mushrooms, fennel, or subtle herb accents. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant only if you want to open up the aromatics more quickly; otherwise, it is ready to enjoy straight from the bottle.

DuMOL is one of California’s benchmark producers for expressive, site-specific wines, with a strong reputation for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from premium coastal vineyards. Founded in Sonoma County, the winery has built its name on precision farming, restrained winemaking, and a clear focus on vineyard character. Over the years, DuMOL has earned significant acclaim for crafting wines that combine California richness with old-world balance and detail.
