Walter Scott La Combe Verte Chardonnay 2023

Walter Scott La Combe Verte Chardonnay 2023 is a standout Oregon Chardonnay that delivers exceptional value and a distinctly Burgundian feel. Sourced from some of the Willamette Valley’s most respected sites, including Justice, Freedom Hill, X Novo, Clos des Oiseaux, and Sojourner, it offers a refined style that serious Chardonnay lovers will appreciate. While proudly American in origin, its elegance and mineral drive nod more toward classic white Burgundy than the richer, more heavily oaked California style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, polished appearance that hints at freshness and precision. The nose opens with layers of yellow and green apple, pear, lime blossom, honey, and crushed limestone, giving the wine an inviting mix of fruit, floral lift, and mineral depth. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and focused, with the same orchard-fruit and citrus character carried by a clean, saline finish. Its mineral backbone and complexity make it immediately appealing now, while its balance and structure suggest it will continue to evolve well over the coming summers.

Production
La Combe Verte is built from fruit grown in several of the Willamette Valley’s top vineyard sites, where Oregon’s cool climate and volcanic and sedimentary soils help preserve freshness and build tension. The blend of parcels adds both complexity and a clear sense of place, with each vineyard contributing its own nuance to the finished wine. Vinification is handled to emphasize purity, texture, and site expression rather than overt oak or richness.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, poached salmon, shellfish, creamy pasta, and dishes with gentle citrus or herb accents. Serve it chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant if you want to open up its aromatic complexity, though it is already very approachable straight from the bottle.

Producer
Walter Scott is one of Oregon’s most respected modern producers, known for crafting terroir-driven wines with restraint, precision, and impressive detail. The winery has built a strong reputation in the Willamette Valley for expressive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that reflect the region’s top vineyards. Consistently praised by critics, Walter Scott has become a benchmark name for elegant, site-focused Oregon wine.
