Chateau Boswell

Mired in a series of internal issues, Chateau Boswell has gone through a difficult time of late that has resulted in pretty much annual changes to the range and considerable turnover of people. Things seem to have stabilized under the direction of Russell Bevan, whose strong voice and leadership are now being seen in the wines. Bevan opted to show just a few of the Boswell wines, most likely a desire to put the winery's best foot forward as it emerges from a very difficult period. The Boswell Chardonnays I tasted are rich, full-bodied wines loaded with intensity and texture. One of the changes between 2012 and 2013 has been a move away from lees stirring, but these remain decidedly big Chardonnays that will provide immense pleasure to readers who appreciate the more voluptuous side of Chardonnay. Even with all of their richness, the Boswell Chardonnays are exceptionally poised and well-balanced, with none of the excess heaviness and astringency that is common with less well-made wines in this style. Bevan bottles the Chardonnays unfined and unfiltered, which means color can sometimes be a bit cloudy, but that is not at all a reason for concern.
