Baettig, Los Parientes Chardonnay Traiguen Chile 2021

95 points James Suckling
"A different style to the previous vintage of Los Parientes. This shows nimbler, more lime-like white and green fruit with green apples, nectarines, green tea and some chamomile. Very cool, taut and vibrant with bright, mouthwatering acidity. Great texture and elegance. Think serious Chablis in terms of style. Drink or hold."

"The 2021 Vino de Viñedo Los Parientes Chardonnay reflects the cooler year with even lower alcohol, 13%, and higher acidity (8.25 grams of tartaric acid per liter of wine). It was harvested the second half of April, which is very late for the region, as it's usually harvested in early April, which meant a slow and thorough ripening of the grapes. The difference with 2018 is that the end of the season was dry and the grapes were healthy and got a better development of aromas and flavors. There are no differences in the work in the winery: pressing of the full clusters, native fermentation in French barriques and 10 months of élevage. Pristine, fresh, chiseled and elegant, with purity and harmony, austere and dry, there's no room for sweetness here (or anywhere at this address!). It has integrated oak and is vibrant and salty. A bargain for the quality. 16,909 bottles were filled in January 2022."

Jancis Robinson
"Stone fruits, chalky stony notes and fresh white-peach aromas. A sense of ripe stone fruit on the palate with a subtle toasty note underneath. The acidity profile on this is magical, refreshing, salty, chalky and with a slight toasted note beneath. The potential of this vineyard is quite something! 18/20 points. (AC)"
