Saumaize-Michelin Saint Veran 2020

Lovely lift, with lemon, lime preserve, savoury spice, white flowers and yellow fruits. Pulpy and juicy, thoroughly abundant, with cream, spice some citrus zest, mandarin and white peach. Good energy to balance the satiny richness. […]

Clyde Park Block B3 Chardonnay 2020
$80.00The strength of Block 3 chardonnay, rows 69 to 85, planted in 1995 to the Penfolds P58 clone, continues to shine from year to year. There’s a lot more going on here than your average chardonnay, a deep complexity for one thing. Nougat, honeysuckle, grilled hazelnuts, lemon butter and musky spice, long and smooth across […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2020
$60.002020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Wines of elegance and finesse; structure and complexity. And very limited. “With high natural acidity we decided to put a few more of the […]

Saumaize-Michelin Vire-Cleese 2020
$60.00Tangy and zesty with citrus, grapefruit, white peach, jasmine and pear. A wine that ensures that you’re tasting the south, full flavoured and rich, but perhaps slightly more controlled and linear than the rest of the range. Yellow fruits begin to emerge on the palate, but are kept very much in check by the lavish […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Blanc 2020
$175.00“Extra vibrance to this aroma, perhaps needing a little sulfur but this is clearly fun too. Mouth-filling, mineral suggesting reduction – dynamic. A nose short of bravo!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report 100% Chardonnay. This Marsannay village wine comes from five parcels, including Les Larreys, Clos du Roy and En Blungey, as well as fruit from newly planted vines in Couchée. […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 2020
$80.00The 2020 Chablis Village is a step up from the Petit Chablis, as you would expect, with more intensity and complexity; green apple and freshly-sliced pears are present on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a lightly-spiced entry, hints of stem ginger interpolating the malic fruit with a nicely weighted finish. Give this […]

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully 1er Cru Le Meix Cadot 2020
$130.00Out of Stock
“Dureuil’s 2020 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot is showing brilliantly in bottle, bursting with aromas of lime, crisp Anjou pear, stone fruit, white flowers and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, this is more chiseled and precise than I perceived just after bottling, concluding with an electric finish.” 94 points, William Kelley, The Wine […]

Apogee Deluxe Vintage Brut 2020
$70.00Lovely, clear colour, somewhere between sunflower yellow and gold. Wafting aromatics, I almost wish I had a white wine glass, rather than a Champagne flute, to capture the spilling complexity. Hazelnut, honey, stewed apple, spring jasmine, cherry, gingernut biscuit and lime. Rich and full bodied, buoyed by frothing freshness, a marvelous combination of weight, power […]

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Blanc 2020
$105.00“The 2020 Rully Blanc is deep and vibrant, revealing notes of pear, freshly baked bread, Meyer lemon, mint and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with lively acids and an elegant, complete profile, it’s beautifully balanced.” 90+ points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Only 180 bottles in the country. This is the estate’s village […]

La Soufrandiere Macon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Pere 2020
$85.00Delicate aromatics, not so much closed but hinting. Cool, herbal notes with lemon, preserved lime, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine. Super energy, not surging, but rather like a dancer, each step revealing something new. Chiseled and compact, this has so much more to offer if you can be patient. Mandarin, sage, lemon oil, green mango, […]

La Soufrandiere Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2020
$125.00Perhaps the emblematic wine of the estate, combining tension, palate weight and power. The high tones, flowers, saltiness and fruit weight are dialled up here, and at this point are in contrast to each other. Time, preferably lots of it will see these two sides come together, although this is one of the most remarkably […]

Giant Steps Tarraford Chardonnay 2020
$60.00A soft, delicate, restrained wine with aromas of white flowers and a whiff of almond meal. Cashew-nutty too. A more straightforward style and a trifle short on the finish compared to other vineyards. It’s remarkably backward and restrained considering it’s the lowest altitude vineyard and earliest harvested. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

Guillot-Broux Genevrieres 2020

Subtle, yet soaring aromatics of smoke, peach, acacia honey, grapefruit and gardenia. Tight, tangy and coiled. Focused, precise and deep.

Dawson James Chardonnay 2020
$65.00From the Far Horse Block of the Meadowbank vineyard, situated in the Derwent Valley, Southern Tasmania and planted in 2000. Awesome Chardonnay, and for lovers of the grape, whatever your stylistic preference, this one’s for you. Rich, it is full bodied, yet the wine’s so fresh and tensile with masses of tangy acidity. Yellow and […]

Across the 1er Cru’s this wine is often seemingly the most ‘exotic’, perhaps not in terms of weight but aromatics.

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
$320.00“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]
