The still-unbottled ouillé Chardonnay 2019 Les Chamois du Paradis comes from a vineyard planted in 1963 on Bajocien soils and should be bottled after four years in topped-up demi-muids. It shows very good acidity, impressive for a warm year like 2019, and has it an expressive nose with some peachy notes, coming through as vibrant and spicy. 2019 is a warm and powerful vintage in the style of 2015, but it's less warm than 2018. In 2019, the alcohol levels were between 13.5% and 14.5%, while in the 2018s, it was more between 14% and 15%. However, the long aging of the whites (it's now four years) seems to polish the wines, making them more balanced and elegant, and none of the wines I tasted lacked any acidity.
