Chacra Patagonia Chardonnay 2024

The 'Chacra Chardonnay' by Bodega Chacra (Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina) is a world-class white wine crafted in close collaboration with legendary Meursault winemaker Jean-Marc Roulot. Sourced from 40-year-old vines planted in mineral-dense soils with alluvial stones coated in chalky limestone (calcaire), this bottling seamlessly merges Patagonian purity with iconic Burgundian precision.

Cellar protocols showcase a tailored maturation design aimed at preserving tension and site transparency: the wine ages for 10 months in a combination of concrete eggs (20%), stainless steel tanks (15%), and neutral French oak barrels (20%). Bodega Chacra's Chardonnay emerges as an intense, energetic, high-pitched white of remarkable refinement—marrying supple roundness with austere mineral drive, a bone-dry mouthfeel, and a signature Patagonian saline backbone.
