Chardonnay 2020 - Fromm

Chardonnay 2020 — Weingut Fromm

This Chardonnay 2020 from Weingut Fromm offers an elegant, fresh and precise Swiss expression of the grape, in a style that is more Alpine than solar. From Graubünden, it highlights pure fruit, the natural tension of the climate and a fine texture, far from overly opulent Chardonnay styles.

The 2020 vintage offers a balanced and luminous profile: ripe lemon, yellow apple, fresh pear, white peach, white flowers, almond, fine hazelnut, discreet butter, chalk, warm stone and a light smoky touch. The wine combines freshness, measured roundness and a mineral finish, with fine aromatic precision.

Terroir: Graubünden, Alpine freshness and Chardonnay precision

Graubünden offers a cool, luminous and contrasted environment, particularly favourable to precise white wines. In this region, Chardonnay retains a slender, mineral and taut expression, with clear fruit, fine texture and lively energy on the finish. At Fromm, this approach gives a restrained, balanced and perfectly controlled wine.

Tasting notes

Appearance: pale gold with bright reflections, luminous and still full of freshness.

Nose: pure and elegant, with ripe lemon, yellow apple, fresh pear, white peach, white flowers, almond, fine hazelnut, chalk, warm stone and a light smoky note.

Palate: fresh, straight and finely textured, with supple yet precise substance. The finish is clean, lightly saline and mineral, carried by citrus, white fruits, almond and a discreet touch of ageing.

Expression of the 2020 vintage

The 2020 vintage gives here a Chardonnay that is ripe without excess, balanced by the natural freshness of Graubünden. The wine retains fine aromatic clarity, delicate texture and a taut finish. It can already be enjoyed for its harmony, while also developing towards notes of hazelnut, discreet honey, fine butter and warm stone.
