Wine Description
The 2022 Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisetiers, crafted by the esteemed winemaker Jason Kesner of Kistler Vineyards, encapsulates the quintessence of Sonoma Coast’s terroir. This Chardonnay stands out as a bone-dry, barrel-aged gem that balances sophistication with accessibility, making it a delightful exploration for wine enthusiasts.
Visually, Kistler Les Noisetiers 2021 shines with a radiant golden hue that hints at its richness. In the glass, the wine catches the light, promising a complex and engaging experience.
On the nose, this Chardonnay releases an inviting array of aromas. Expect to be greeted by vibrant notes of fresh citrus, complemented by subtler undertones of pear and apple. These fruit essences are beautifully intertwined with a delicate whisper of toasted hazelnut, a nod to its name ‘Les Noisetiers’, which translates to ‘the hazelnuts’ in French. The use of a smaller percentage of new oak during aging allows these nuanced aromas to shine through, highlighting the natural character derived from its distinguished vineyards—Vine Hill, Trenton Roadhouse, and Dutton Ranch.
The palate of Kistler Les Noisetiers 2021 is where the craftsmanship truly comes to life. It offers a crisp and refreshing acidity that carries the bright flavors of lemon zest and green apple. The mid-palate builds with a creamy texture, a result of its 11 months in barrels and additional aging in tanks, providing a smooth and rounded mouthfeel. The finish lingers with a clean and mineral-driven taste, leaving a memorable impression of the wine’s soil-driven origins.
This Kistler wine has received notable critical acclaim for its elegant balance and refined expression of the Chardonnay grape. The winery’s approach to using less new oak and focusing on the intrinsic qualities of the vineyard sites has been particularly appreciated, as it allows the wine’s true character to emerge.
As you delve deeper into the offerings of Kistler Vineyards, you might also explore the previous vintages such as Kistler Les Noisetiers 2020 and Kistler Les Noisetiers 2021, each presenting its unique interpretation of the Sonoma Coast terroir.

When considering the Kistler wine price, it is evident that the quality and meticulous production methods justify the investment. Each bottle of Kistler wine, including these revered vintages, embodies the richness and complexity that Kistler is known for, making each sip a testament to the excellence of this renowned winery.
