Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2024
$60.00From the now defunct Lance’s vineyard in St. Andrews, planted in 1984. Whole-bunch pressed to older puncheons. The combination of a cool year and a warm site works beautifully here. A bright green gold. Aromas of perfectly ripened stone fruits meet a little grilled cashew and gentle saline scents in this gorgeous wine. Gently fleshy […]

Christian Moreau AC Chablis 2024
$75.00The 2024 Chablis Village, which was taken from tank, has a light, fresh, marine-influenced bouquet that becomes quite smoky.

$55.00A warmer vintage with a touch more alcohol weight in 2024 means this iteration has a riper spectrum of fruit and flowers but with that combination of slatey and creamy textures. Certified organic grapes, I10V1 clone, no malolactic, unfined. Gilli and Paul Lipscombe, Sailor Seeks Horse

Tillie J Chardonnay 2024
$40.00From a vineyard in Gruyere on the Valley floor. 10% new oak, and no mlf. A bright yellow green. Nicely poised with its aromas of white peach, flowers, lemon zest and light marine scents. Equally subtle on the well-balanced and very even palate, finishing tensile and long. It’s terrific, even now, but will continue to […]

Domaine Naturaliste Purus Chardonnay 2024
$60.00Pure as the name implies, but it loses nothing in terms of flavour intensity and power. Malolactic is blocked, so the acid profile is different. It bloody well sizzles. Green apple, grapefruit, lime, white peach, almond meal and a sort of briny quality. A whip crack of a wine, full of tautness and tension, and […]

Dappled Single Vineyard Les Vergers Chardonnay 2024
$58.00Sourced from John and Josie D’Aloisio’s vineyard located high up on the hill above the township of Seville. The I10V1 clone Chardonnay was planted in 1991 on its own roots (non-grafted) and is grown on the stunningly rich red volcanic soils this subregion of the Yarra Valley is famous for. A richer aromatic profile […]

Stargazer Chardonnay 2024
$70.00“Pale straw in colour, on the nose it is all bright fresh lemon peel and ripe white peaches. Custard pastry and cashew nuts with subtle flinty layer add a secondary layer under the primary fruit. The generous stonefruit upfront on the palate is framed by judicious use of oak, with long flavours of almonds and […]

Gentle Folk Chardonnay 2024
$45.00Often seen as the pinnacle of white grapes, the Hills is a very good place to grow and make Chardonnay, that is for sure! The 2024 blend benefits from the addition of our new estate vineyard in Basket Range. Its beautifully refined and complex Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that balances acidity, oak and powerful fruit just […]

Irrewarra Chardonnay 2024
$70.00It’s curious to note that the Irrewarra pinot noir provides the Farr stable with a burlier, darker, savoury and earthy wine, whilst the chardonnay is the most linear, precise and acid driven of the range. I’m not sure if this is a function of the vineyard or winemaking choices, but it makes for a fascinating […]

Chateau du Cedre Chardonnay Heritage 2023
$38.00From 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
$69.00There’s a little more aromatic concentration this year methinks. Still resplendent in its ripe white peach and citrus fruits, flecked with spiced oatmeal, clotted cream, meadow wildflowers, grilled cashews, nougat, distant struck flint and nicely judged vanillin oak. Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Christian Moreau AC Chablis 2023
$75.00There 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 […]

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 […]

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. The lingering finish of Estate Chardonnay ’22 is fine and dry, marrying the wine’s fresh fruit […]
