La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles 2021
$100.00Supremely complex as you would expect from such a venerated producer. Honey, spring jasmine, lime, grapefruit, honeydew, green apple, discreet oak and Jersey cream. Sumptuous, rich and tangy, fleshy and tingling. Utterly singular, with the energy and verve of riesling and decadence of chardonnay. Wonderful now, but even better in 7 or 8 years and […]

Green apple, passionfruit, mint, pink grapefruit and juicy lime. Lovely mid-palate flesh, coupled with such intensity is the preserve of Chablis. Finishes with textural interest, chalky and saline.

Domaine Gueguen Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2021
$100.00Slightly more reticent, but with time aromas of gardenia, jasmine, fresh, zest and preserved lemon and lime and grapefruit. Fleshier and more opulent than the Fourchaume, with greater weight and muscle. Softer and creamier, yet with typical Gueguen freshness and clarity. Dry extract and chew complete the picture of overall weight, presence and power without […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2019
$215.00“The 2019 Meursault Le Limozin is superb, mingling aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, almond paste and pastry cream with hints of white flowers and mint. Medium to full-bodied, textural and precise, it combines impressive mid-palate volume with terrific cut. This will be well worth seeking out.” 91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Outstanding. […]

Alex Moreau Bourgogne Blanc 2021
$100.00Fine-boned and precise, the 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay offers up aromas of pear, citrus oil, white flower and clear honey, followed by a medium-bodied, vibrant palate. This year, it will see longer maturation on the lees, which will likely deliver more texture. 87-88 Points – William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Cool and airy aromas feature those […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2023
$55.00‘A very fine chardonnay, without quite the precision, detail and tension that I recall from other years. Stone fruit, flint, lanolin, porcini and that regional tattoo of glazed quince. Quinine bitterness at the finale. Mid-weighted and nicely nervous in the mouth, while suitably open-knit enough to breach already. Fine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 95 Points […]

CRFT Arranmore Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Matured seven months in French oak (45% new). A febrile, more tensile expression than its Blefari Vineyard sibling, yet with no sacrifice of flavour, nor any forage into the wilderness of hard reduction. A chiselled nose of white peach, nougatine, cashew and just the right amount of flint. The finish is long and contagious of […]

CRFT Blefari Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Hand picked and wild fermented in tank before transfer to oak on full solids (35% new) where it remained for seven months. Very fine, as much by virtue of its relaxed mid-weighted gait, as its tension. Yet this is tension imparted by an intuitive hand, an innate comprehension that any effete obsession with pH and […]

Veuve Fourny & Fils Grands Rose NV
$110.00Tiny volumes produced and hardly any made available for the Australian market. Pure pure, with fruit of English strawberry, cherry, cranberry, redcurrant, blueberry and blackcurrant. Lovely tension between the sweetness of fruit and the more savoury elements. There is a faint texture derived from the tannin and the Champagne’s naturally buoyant acidity, lends weight and […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Immensely complex aromatics with notes of nougat, lemon zest, lime, kaffir lime, frangipanni, sage and fleshy orchard fruits.

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020

Tillie J Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$40.00What a terrific followup to the fabulous 2021. Zingy, tangy fleshy. Intense notes of lemon, preserved, fresh and zest. Green apple, grapefruit, jasmine, orange blossom, almond paste, pastry, oak spice and cream. Linear in shape, certainly a contemporary Yarra style, yet with extract and sinew. Reminiscent of the new wave coming out of the Maconnais, […]

Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Brut NV (Disg 2023)
$290.00This is simply a staggering release of this wine. As always, it’s made exclusively from low-yielding Grand Cru vines, predominantly located in Ambonnay, but also Bouzy and Verzenay. Again, as always, it’s 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The old cliché—Egly starts harvesting when everyone else has finished—still holds true and it’s obvious from the first sip that […]

The blend is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, which goes some way to explaining the wine’s freshness and energy. Extremely complex aromatics of cherry, red apple, brioche, toasted almonds, cashew, hedge fruits and spice. Deep and vinous, […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]
