Chacra
About Chacra
Bodega Chacra is Piero Incisa della Rochetta's personal project in Patagonia. As a member of the great family responsible for the mythical Sassicaia, his vineyard management and winemaking skill come with unquestionable pedigree. Hailed by James Suckling as one of the great “eye-openers” in Patagonia, della Rochetta is crafting “unique Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs” currently receiving thunderous critical acclaim.
Despite the unrivalled familial pedigree of Piero Incisa, the estate certainly doesn’t rely on its famous association alone. Recently joining forces with Jean-Marc Roulot, the most esteemed producer in Meursault, the collaboration has given Chacra's wines “a new soulful energy” (JS). Now amongst the most “transparent to the unique soils and microclimates” ever, these cuvées have come to rival many of the world's great wines.

James Suckling (97)There’s real direction and clarity to this white with sliced dried apples, crushed stones and minerals on the nose, as well as hints of biscuit and praline. Some honeysuckle and lemon-grass undertones, too. It’s full-bodied, yet very tight and lively with a line of fresh acidity running through the palate, providing energy and depth. From the owner of Chacra and Burgundy’s Jean-Marc Roulot. Drinkable now, but much better in three to four years. Try after 2023. |

James Suckling (98)Extremely perfumed and beautiful with ripe strawberries and citrus fruit, as well as aromatic flowers. Full-bodied with plenty of fruit and creamy, chewy tannins that are polished and very impressive. Long and linear. One of the best of this bottling. Drink after 2023, but already a gorgeous bottle. |
