Bouchard Finlayson Crocodiles Lair/Kaaimansgat Chardonnay Limited Edition 2009

Winemakers have that feeling of "never arriving" at their best achievement. There is an eternal desire to do better and the need for innovation can only be met with each vintage’s blessed opportunity.

The style is classic, cool climate Chardonnay with voluptuous bright authoritative fruit tones layered on harmonious oak flavours, all balanced in a synonymous elegance!

in the vineyard : Exceptional quality is the benchmark of a limited edition wine. This bottling of 3576 bottles, is a mirror image, of the unusual tweak of the 2004 edition where the blend was a marriage of two opposing styles of Chardonnay from the same vineyard.
in the cellar : In this blend the element of innovation is presented by blending a classic barrel-fermented portion of Chardonnay (60%) with a fruity non-malo unwooded portion (40%). The barrel fermented portion is all new French oak!
