Hyde de Villaine Description
HdV is a venture between the Hyde Family of Napa Valley and the de Villaine Family of Burgundy. The families, related by marriage, share long histories in French and Californian winemaking. In HdV, we have brought together our knowledge and experience for the purpose of creating single vineyard wines from the slopes of Hyde Vineyards.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
A stunning, expressive white, with a savory, minerally edge that's distinctive and crisp, imparting elegance and restraint on the core of Honeycrisp apple, Meyer lemon and pureed mango flavors. Reveals hints of lemon thyme, nutmeg, toasted sesame seed and additional spices that linger on the fresh finish.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Lots of crushed stone, cement, lemon, matchstick, and flint. Full-bodied but so tight, with polished texture. Tangy and edgy with a brightness. 60% Wente and 40% Calera clones. Old vines from 1940 and 1970s. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard shows greater focus and tension than the Debut, along with the natural richness that is so characteristic of this site. Lemon confit, honeysuckle, white flowers, and a kiss of French oak all grace this attractive Chardonnay from Hyde de Villaine. There's real depth and intensity here.
