Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2019
$215.00Out of Stock
“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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2022
$175.00Diam. One of Chablis’ greatest 1er Cru terroirs, Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. The one-hectare parcel that produces this wine is situated within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Blanchot by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two contiguous plots, one 50 years old and a second, recently replanted […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Forets 2022
$145.00Diam. Stéphane Moreau used to call Forêts “one of the greatest terroirs of Chablis”. It’s a historical sub-plot within the 1er Cru Montmains, high up the slope and facing southeast. It can undoubtedly produce Chablis of the highest order, as both Dauvissat and Moreau have shown many times (Raveneau also has a small parcel). Moreau farms two plots of vines here, with a total […]

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 […]

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 […]

La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2021
$130.00“Here more concentration and ripeness of citrus, not quite exotic but more in this direction. Yet the palate remains clean, direct and intense – just far too drinkable. Broad and intense as the last notes only slowly start to fade – what another excellent wine!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat Les Longeays has […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
$320.00Out of Stock
“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 […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Out of Stock
Outstanding. 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 […]

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 […]

Mercer Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2023
$20.00The best place in Australia, for rich, round, easy going chardonnay is the Hunter Valley. These wines can age too, a couple of bottles of 2003, from a good vineyard will testify. At 21 years of age, both bottles were delicious and had at least another terrific five years. The 23 Mercer is a knockout, […]

Fighting Gully Road Smiths Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$85.00Smith’s is one of the great Australian chardonnay vineyard’s and Mark Walpole can seemingly do no wrong with this or any other varietal. Super expressive, impressive from the get go with white flowers, cream, grapefruit, pink lady apple, chocolate orange and gorgeous oak. Linear and focused, the flesh on rails of tangy acidity, dry extract […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Caillerets’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a captivating bouquet with yellow plum, lemon thyme, jasmine and crushed rock. Very well-defined, it articulates its terroir with real aplomb. The palate is taut and focused, lightly spiced on the entry and almost peppery compared to the other Premier Crus from Morey, fanning out wonderfully with real brio […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Vergers’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru was reductive on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample, but that will be addressed by bottling time. There appears to be very good intensity here, and with time, there is an unexpected touch of Shiso leaf. The palate is well-balanced and poised, gently building towards an intense […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 2022
$215.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet has pleasing mineralité on the nose, almost making it worthy of a Premier Cru. It is very finely focused, with touches of hazelnut emerging with time. The palate is very well-balanced, with fine tension and poise. Not amazingly complex, yet it delivers in terms of purity and precision. Drink this over the next […]

Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2022
$105.00“The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc offers bright orchard fruit, particularly orange blossom, on the nose that will be difficult to resist in its youth. The palate is rounded with a smooth texture, lightly spiced with a dab of lemongrass perking up the finish. Delightful regional white Burgundy.” 87 points – Neal Martin, Vinous.com Click here for […]

Tyrrell’s Blanc de Blancs 2016
$65.00The wine world, like any other, is faddish and if you were to think of sparkling wine, any sparkling wine, the Hunter valley would be pretty far down the list, if not at all. But Tyrrell’s can always be relied upon to make at the very least, ‘good’ wine and some the greatest of all. […]

Bernard Defaix Chablis 2023
$70.00Screwcap. Defaix’s village Chablis is drawn from four parcels of mature, 30-plus-year-old vines situated around Milly and Poinchy on the left bank of the Serein River. The wine ferments spontaneously and ages on fine lees for 10 months in glass-lined tanks. Compared to the wine above, the older vines translate to more character, depth and […]

Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022

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 […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Small Wonder Chardonnay 2023
$55.00A fantastic vintage for this wine, 2023 delivering the goods across the entire island. The Small Wonder wines tend towards the contemporary, balanced with an abundant, fleshy mid-palate. Cool and tangy citrus, citrus blossom, some green mango and white peach. Super intense and focused; the acidity in lock-step with a touch of mouthwatering phenolics. Such […]

Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023
$45.00All fruit was handpicked then whole bunch pressed to a mixture of new and old barrels (35% new) with full solids included for wild ferment. Post fermentation, all barrels were topped and remained un-sulphured until we believed the balance of natural acidity and gentle MLF complexity had been achieved. No battonage was undertaken, but maturation […]

Pooley Chardonnay 2024
$55.00One of Tasmania’s most consistent producers, Pooley’s estate chardonnay and pinot noir are as excellent as usual in 2024. This sits very much in the contemporary sphere – aged in barrel and concrete for only 6 months before bottling. Incredibly intense and primal, with an energy and vigorousness almost unmatched in Australian wine. Tangy citrus, […]

Sentio Beechworth Chardonnay 2023
$50.00Fruit sourced from two vineyards, both planted in the ‘90s with classic Ordovician soils – a mixture of mudstone, shale, and granite. Handpicked, basket-pressed and fermented on lees. Fermented and aged in a combination of large-format oak (foudre) and barrique, some new. The structure and integrity of the fruit is intense. The vibrancy of the […]

David Moreau Meursault Les Pellans 2022
$200.00The 2022 Meursault Les Pellans has a refined and quite understated bouquet, hints of praline infusing the citrus fruit, and touches of beeswax. The palate is well-balanced, with touches of orchard fruit on the entry, matched by a crisp line of acidity. Superb mineralité here; this is a Village Cru punching at the weight of […]
