Marugg's 2018 Fläsch Chardonnay Bovel is very clear and intense yet subtle on the bright and elegant nose. Intense and rich on the palate, the is an elegant and rather smooth yet fine and serious Chardonnay with good freshness and some phenolic bitters on the finish. Food wine. 13% alcohol. Tasted in Zurich in December 2019.

From Bedigliora, Zündel's 2017 Chardonnay Coò comes to the nose like a matured Champagne when tasted from a small glass, but it's immediately open in a Bordeaux or Burgundy glass. Golden but vital in color, the 2017 Coò displays a clear, deep, intense, really complex yet very fine and mineral bouquet of buttercup, herbs, grass and stones. Exciting! Lean and elegant on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, rather ascetic and mineral Chardonnay without any sweetness or richness. Maybe you like to have it more round and rich, more oaky and powerful#yet this is Burgundian only on the nose, while it is Alpine Ticino on the palate. The wine remains lean but elegant, well-structured and fresh, and it finishes with lemon juice flavors and fine tannin grip. This is excellent in style and quality and also in the aftertaste, again with similarities to Champagne. Tasted at Brancaia in Zurich in October 2019.

Funkelndes, sattes Strohgelb. Betörende Nase, präsentiert sich zunächst mit Feuersteinnoten, dann viel reife Frucht, Ananas, Babybanane und getrocknete Erdbeeren. Gehaltvoll und vielschichtig am Gaumen, tiefgründig, sehr langer Nachhall mit feinen Nougatnoten, zeigt sich noch sehr jung.

The 2016 Friuli Isonzo Rive Alte Chardonnay Vie di Romans is exotic and tangy, just slightly ripe and absolutely beautiful. The notes of exotic fruit and papaya are almost incomparable in definition, with some sweet cinnamon mingling in there as well. The mouthfeel is silky and long, with an esoteric or abstract quality that is hard to put into words but remains mysterious and attractive nonetheless. Enjoy this barrique-aged Chardonnay with someone who can appreciate this level of craftsmanship.

Funkelndes, lebhaftes helles Goldgelb. Sehr intensive und vielschichtige Noten, duftet nach Kamille, Ananas und Mango, im Hintergrund nach hellem Butterkaramell. Sehr präzise, feine Frucht, strömt ruhig dahin, ausgewogen, breitet sich im hinteren Verlauf mächtig aus, salzig und tiefgründig, sehr langer Nachhall.

Kante won't release his 2008 Chardonnay Selezione La Bora di Kante for a few years, but the wine is shaping up to be a jewel. Ash, smoke, graphite, peaches and apricots are some of the many notes that flesh out in the glass. I can't wait to see how the 2008 develops. Today it is shaping up to be another jewel.

From Beride, the bright straw-yellow colored 2017 Chardonnay Velabona displays an intense yet bright and elegant bouquet with floral and herbal aromas and notes of crushed stones, white champignons and stewed apples. On the palate, this is an elegant, refined and chalky-mineral Chardonnay with great purity but remarkable concentration and juiciness on the salty, well-structured finish. Champagne sends windy greetings again here. Tasted at Brancaia in Zurich in October 2019.
