Winemaker Notes
Soils rich in limestone and broken mountain rock on De Wetshof's site-specific vineyards allow this wine to emit optimum varietal expression. An unwooded wine, Bon Vallon has a brisk and clean freshness leading into a wide spectrum of classic flavors including citrus, wild flowers and grilled nuts, with a nuanced minerality on the aftertaste.

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The De Wetshof Estate 2024 Robertson Bon Vallon Chardonnay is linear and focused with pretty mineral highlights. It's a little subdued overall, but you get a nice presentation of stone fruits, preserved lemon and tart grapefruit. The style is tonic and tight, and I would suggest you serve this bottle extra chilled. The mouthfeel is streamlined but should flesh out over the next year or two. This is another great Chardonnay, with 40,000 bottles released from a producer focused on this grape.
90 James Suckling
A fresh and clean chardonnay that has aromas and flavors of lemons, chopped apples and raw hazelnuts. It’s medium- to full-bodied, bright and linear.
