Daou Bodyguard Chardonnay 20

Conceived by brothers Georges and Daniel Daou, Bodyguard Chardonnay is a wine of uncommon opulence. The 2020 vintage offers fragrant aromas of golden apple, buttered toast, honey and lilac, while subtle notes of Bartlett pear, star fruit, hibiscus, and nutmeg round out the elegant, floral bouquet. The smooth and silky texture cascades across the palate with enticing flavors of spiced pear, Granny Smith apple, golden kiwi, and honeysuckle, all underlain by mouthwatering minerality. Secondary layers reveal nuances of white peach and toasty oak, hazelnut, honeydew melon, and citrus zest, culminating in a crisp, clean finish showing remarkable length with lingering notes of lemon curd and pineapple.
