Wine by Bok: 9/10
Crafted by renowned Burgundy producer Philippe Colin, the 2022 Topiary Chardonnay from South Africa’s Franschhoek Valley beautifully marries the elegance of French winemaking with the bold character of a New World wine.
On the nose, it delivers a vibrant bouquet of fresh lemon and ripe citrus, reminiscent of its French roots.
However, the palate showcases a bolder, more forward profile than one might expect from a traditional Burgundy Chardonnay.
The wine is rather rich, expressing the signature intensity of New World styles, with a pronounced fullness and structure.
While it may lack the refinement of its French counterparts, this Chardonnay offers a refreshing take on South African winemaking. Its big, lively character is perfect for those who enjoy a more powerful, fruit driven Chardonnay experience, making it a standout New World expression with a French touch.
Try it if you are new to New World Wine!
