Critics scores
97 James Suckling
Stunningly fresh and delicate nose of lemon zest, pear and hazelnut with a touch of toasted baguette. Extremely elegant and spicy on the medium-to full-bodied palate that is cool and finely nuanced, the intense stony character building dramatically at the incredibly dynamic finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
96 Robert Parker
The 2019 Chardonnay is pure and intense on the deep, complex, elegant and refreshing mineral nose that is reminiscent of lemon oil and crushed stones. Full-bodied, refined and lush on the palate, this is a very elegant, textural and saline Chardonnay with fine tannins and a long, intense and close-meshed finish. Another highlight of the Gantebein Chardonnay Saga. Tasted at the domaine in March 2022.

Producer
Gantenbein
Along the breathtaking Rhine Valley of Grisons, the Gantenbein winery is found in the small wine-growing village of Fläsch. Founded in 1982 by Martha and Daniel Gantenbein, they began by planting their 6-hectare estate with Burgundy clones. Today the property is predominately dedicated to Pinot Noir production, while much smaller areas are devoted to Chardonnay and Riesling growth. Martha and Daniel agreed early on that quality was key – therefore meticulous viticulture and vinification processes are followed. They even use gravity-feed tanks, where the flow of the grapes and the juice is regulated by the earth’s natural pressure without the need of pumps or filters. Along with their top Pinot Noirs, the estate also crafts two smaller production wines of Riesling and Chardonnay.
