Looking in maker's notes, confirms 2y in 225L barrigues. I think this will be as nice as the 2003 Andre Oberto I had in Italy if it gets 7 more years, making it a 5star wine at that point.

You like Chardonnay because it's not boring. Don't get that as most of them other than Chablis are pretty uninteresting to me. I like Spanish, Greek, and Italian whites because they are intersting.
