Decades Chardonnay 2023
$78.00Beauty is immediate. The pure and crystalline quality is captured in the gorgeous aromatics of grapefruit, fig, melon, spring jasmine and chocolate orange. Concentrated, but not big. Lithe, athletic and pure, but with a tempering suppleness; the tightness of youth and coiled power finessed, creamy and fleshy. Citrus and orchard fruits, mostly, the palate gripping […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2023
$42.00The 2023 chardonnay from Tillie J is the best yet, and it’s not just because of a great vintage. There is less of the skin and bones approach, with more richness and mid palate succulence. White flowers, wood spice, fresh and preserved citrus, summer honey and pastry notes. Super intense palate, the flavours and textures […]

Chateau du Cedre Chardonnay Heritage 2023
$35.00From estate vineyards, grown on limestone, the Chardonnay was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and allowed to ferment naturally. Aged on fine lees, there is absolutely no oak, yet the lees do impart a creaminess and there are reductive notes of flint and struck match. Pristine wine, and beautifully pitched at just 12% alcohol. Lime, grapefruit, […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00No Huldufolk this, which works for me as this is the finest chardonnay to date. 40 per cent new French oak, no malolactic as usual, the fruit soaking up what has to be very expensive wood. Super fragrant, with spring jasmine, pawpaw, fig, quince, white peach, preserved lime, spicy oak, burnt butter and citrus rind. […]

Lambert Crudo Chardonnay 2024
$30.00Out of Stock
Lambert’s stimulating Crudo Chardonnay hails from the east/northeast-facing slope on the Denton vineyard’s cone-shaped site. The vines are now 22 years old, sitting on expressive soils of granitic sand over heavy granite boulders. The fruit was pressed as bunches and vinified entirely in tank. The wine went through full malolactic conversion and was bottled without […]

Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2023
$58.00Screwcap. Unusually for a Petit Chablis, which generally comes from the lower-lying sites on Portlandian limestone, the lion’s share of this cuvée is drawn from a parcel of Kimmeridgian-based soil. Yet it’s not necessarily the type of limestone but more the location that makes the difference. The small Defaix parcel is well situated on the […]

Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022
$100.00“Five Star Wine. Equally pale but even more striking, with the saline mineral nose and a sense of purity. A striking freshness of fruit, Kimmeridge put to good use, with a lovely clean and pure finish. Real delicacy with intensity.” 92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “A more direct and intense aroma – there’s more […]

Christophe et Fils Vieilles Vignes Chablis 2023
$65.00Coiled, cool and tense, a rockier road than the estate’s Chablis. Aromas of lemon, lime zest, gardenia, grapefruit and green apple. Full of tension, Riesling-like in breadth and crystal cut acidity. Very refreshing, linear in shape, with just enough fleshy fruit to blunt the sword. Very long, the carry goes on and on with a […]

Evenfall Chardonnay 2023
$45.00A thoroughly complete Australian chardonnay, Evenfall’s white has a foot in just about all the stylistic camps and the total sum of its parts is awesome. Has all the drive, tang and mineral intensity of Chablis and the darker fruits, texture and flesh of Meursault. Lovely aromatics of gardenia, pastry, cashew, preserved lime, yellow peach […]

Domaine Lavantureux Petit Chablis 2022
$58.00“All from Lignorelles – A pretty nose – not large scale but of good width. Mouth-filling but fluid and complex – that’s really great in the mouth – a nose short of great wine but clearly great PC today!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “In bottle. A fine clean pale colour, with very crisp aromatics. This […]

$85.00Rich, mouthcoating, juicy and succulent, this is absolutely classic Sandro Mosele. Gorgeous aromas of grapefruit, lemon and lime, fresh, zest and preserved, gardenia and breezy wood spice. Freshness and richness, loose knit and luscious, with cream, quince, fresh macadamia nuts and a fine citrus line, keeping everything fresh and drawing out the close. Magnificent. Waters […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2023
$39.00A great vintage for this wine and a classic, contemporary expression of Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Expressive and packed with energy. White peach, jasmine, nectarine, lemon zest and grapefruit. Very fresh style, but softer and not as high pitched as the single vineyards. Terrific value. Waters Wine Co An even split of upper and lower […]

A Rodda Baxendale Whitlands Chardonnay 2023
$45.00Highly lifted aromas of red apples and meadow flowers are complexed with secondary characters of flint, spice and wet stone. On the palate, intense minerality combined with fine acidity and lees complexity create a mouthfeel that is velvety and creamy yet focused and intense. Creating a tactile sensation that is long, savoury, and refreshing. Winemaker’s […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2022
$55.00From a 330m-elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunch pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. Sadly, this will be the last Applecross chardonnay from this vineyard. A very bright green gold. More oomph than usual. Lovely complexity with its citrus, stone fruits, white flowers and subtle matchstick. And while this is tightly […]

Christian Moreau AC Chablis 2023
$80.00There is ample Chablis typicity to the nicely fresh aromas of citrus, pear and sea breeze. The sense of freshness is enhanced by the vibrant and detailed middle weight flavors that culminate in a lightly stony and appealingly textured finish. This should drink well young but repay mid-term keeping. (88-90)/2027+ Burghound.com , October 2024 […]

Origines New England Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A beautifully composed chardonnay from a very cool site at Topper’s Mountain in the NSW New England region. The tyranny of distance has made the development of the region slow, but if you are any doubt, you need to taste this. Jan Taborsky of Origines wines told me that the vineyard had never experienced 40 […]

Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023
$38.00Intense aromatics of grapefruit, fresh and preserved lime, lemon, cashew, cream, wood, citrus blossom and spice. Rich and medium bodied, a wine of energy angles and cut. There’s a little more mid palate flesh than in previous iterations, and I’m not sure if it marks a shift in style or is a reflection of the […]

Dappled ‘Appellation’ Chardonnay 2023
$45.00Stunning aromas of pear, yellow stone fruits, and baked apple. There is heaps of complexity with hints of flint, smokey oak and toasted almonds. The palate is refined and textured; stone fruit and citrus flavours dominate. It is so light and airy with a lovely thread of cool acidity to it.. Flavours last for a […]

Pierrick Laroche Domaine des Hâtes Petit Chablis 2022
$48.00Beautiful wine and a signpost to the Pierrick Laroche style. Open aromatics of green apple, white peach, white flowers, honeysuckle and cream. Plump, generous and fleshy, in no way fat, just a lovely lanolin texture, with rich orchard and citrus fruit, a sprinkling of herbs and long gentle finish. Chardonnay the way only Chablis can. […]

Pooley Butchers Hill Chardonnay 2023
$80.00A great vintage for this wine and for Tasmanian chardonnay. Eye wateringly intense, with aromas of grapefruit, gardenia, mandarin, lime preserve and lemon thyme. Rich, full bodied and round, underpinned by a scaffold of apple and lemon driven acidity. Brioche, apple strudel, acacia honey and cream fill out the fleshy, pulpy mid palate, before finishing […]

Patrick Sullivan Baw Baw Chardonnay 2023
$69.00“A slight gold hue, yet bright. An unusual offering this vintage with full-on flavours and yet it’s not unwieldy. Let this breathe and open up, then expect quince paste, lime marmalade, saffron-infused peaches and creamed honey lees. Plenty of perky acidity, a light phenolic tug; the palate is textural and luscious, a little juicy, too. […]

Eleni & Edouard Vocoret Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot 2021
$115.00“The 2021 Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot comes across quite closed on the nose, though Edouard Vocoret mentioned how this cuvée has closed down at the time of my visit. The palate is complex with touches of apricot and white peach, plenty of minerals and flint, focused with a long tail on the finish. This […]

Te Mata Estate Chardonnay 2022
$30.00Vibrant white-gold, Estate Chardonnay ’22 dazzles with bright lemon blossom and concentrated white peach. On the palate, all the ripe Hawke’s Bay stone fruit on offer softens to mascarpone and macadamia, with barrel-ferment notes of toast, biscuit and woodsmoke.
