| Full of ripe stone fruit aromas, the palate shows subtle oak tones underneath the ripe orchard fruits and appealing citrus acidity. |
| | Elegant and fresh aromas of ripe tropical fruits.Ripe pear and apricot fragrances and a fresh finish. Unoaked.
|
| | Good concentration of fleshy ripe stone fruit notes cut with fresh citrus acidity. Very good purity and an appealing mineral edge to finish. Quite weighty but in balance. Domaine Fourrey is a family estate with 18ha, of which AP Chablis accounts for 15ha, overlooking the villages of Fleys and Milly.

Domaine Fourrey's 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is a complex, concentrated Grand Cru Chablis style, oozing class and with great ageing potential.
Vaudésir is one of the seven official climats of the Chablis Grand Cru appellation, on steep slopes overlooking the town of Chablis below. Vaudésir Chablis' tend to be softer and more elegant than other Grand Crus, with floral characters rounding out Chablis' iconic minerality, and the wines are renowned for their wonderful balance. |
| |
Very ripe, pure, expressive aromas of candied lemon peel and flowers.
Rather soft for this cuvée but the flavors of white peach, flowers and dusty herbs are firmed on the end by a hint of chalky minerality.
|
| | From a 1 hectare plot located on the eastern bank of the river Serein with a sunny aspect and dry limestone-rich soils.
Elegant, floral and racy with rich flavour concentration

Domaine Montrose Chardonnay is a crisp and refreshing white wine that embodies the essence of the Languedoc region of France.
The vibrant nose shows citrus and white peach. Elegance combined with roundness and freshness defines the palate.
|
| | The nose is fresh and lively with the merest hint of toast and butterscotch while the intensely flavoured palate shows white peach, crisp pear and rich citrus backed up by a taut mineral acidity and a succulent texture showing well integrated, subtle oak. The finish is long, clean and creamily rich. |
| | This is an old-school chardonnay with a strong presence of the barrel (a year of aging) that dominates the nose, although it leaves room for notes of ripe white fruit. The texture is creamy, the dairy-like flavors have a little party going on, and that buttery sensation makes its rounds the whole time. |
|
|
This Chassagne-Montrachet 2022 presents a complex nose with honey and acacia notes. Round and ample on the palate, it reveals aromas of marzipan and vanilla. The wine has a long finish and a nice minerality.
8 to 10 months ageing in oak barrels, 15% new.
|
| | The palate it fresh and lively with a bright acid backbone. Flavours abound of nectarines & peaches, juicy citrus and grapefruit pith. Good length with delicate texture and a fine mineral thread. |
| | A tight, mineral wine with classic Hamilton Russell Vineyards length and complexity. Prominent pear and lime fruit aromas and flavours are brought beautifully into focus by a tight line of bright natural acid and a long, dry minerality. An elegant, yet textured and intense wine with a strong personality of both place and vintage. |
|
| The 2021 Chardonnay Hazel's Vineyard is quite a classic Margaret River style, carrying both generous levels of flavour while retaining trademark finesse. Exuberant pineapple, grapefruit and tangy blossom fruits jump out of the blocks well matched by high quality, reserved new oak. |
| | Mandarin peal, white blossom and mealy aromas give way to white nectarine and a seductive nougat element. Flinty and complex, this Chardonnay is powerful in fruit concentration and restrained by a precise acid line. A layered wine with persistence, power, and structure and a true representation of this gravelly vineyard in southern Margaret River. |
| | Refreshing notes of juicy white peach, tangy green apple, and exotic sunrise lime. Hints of toasted cashew nuts and gun flint underpin the cooling fruit core. The velvety texture leads to saline minerality and a fresh cut of acidity. It fills out the holes but remains light on its feet with lingering grapefruit pith flavours to conclude. |
|
|
A full, powerful and fruit filled California Chardonnay.
Well balanced by a touch of spice and good mineral backbone. It spent seven months in barrel which lends a subtle, but not overpowering oak influence.
|
| | Pure, complex, and very satisfying, this is a charming expression of Southern Margaret River Chardonnay. On the nose delicate notes of kaffir lime, jasmine, and zesty ginger leap from the glass, complemented by complex barrel ferment elements of cashews and flint rock. The palate is powerful yet crystalline and defined by a mealy texture and that long, savoury acid line this area is renowned for. |
| | Full , fresh and elegant, with a good balance, from the town of Vergisson. Fermented partly in oak partly stainless steel. Great Southern burgundy
|
|
| Matured for 11 months in French oak barrel, 50% of which is new. Complex nose of pear, citrus and floral notes with hints of citrus fruits and marzipan. Medium bodied and balanced with a crisp acidity and fresh on the finish with stony minerality. |
| | Attractively layered aromas comprise notes of hazelnut, pear essence and plenty of floral elements, especially carnation and acacia. The delicious and fleshy medium-weight flavours possess an incredible intensity and are cut before terminating in a lemony finale that is solidly persistent, if not quite as complex. |
| | A fusion of cream, fine stones, intense citrus, with depth, texture, and a nutty stoniness in the background. Long and powerful, but also juicy and joyous. The four specific parcels sit high up in the Charmes Dessus vineyard, just below Clos des Perrières and abutting the vines of Dominque Lafon. Undoubtedly one of the estate's flagship wines. |
|
|
An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Château de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet.
.
A brilliant pale-yellow colour, reveals a floral nose with notes of honeysuckle. Full and round on the palate, with aromas of almond paste.
|
| | The Francois Berthenet Montagny 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes impresses the wine drinker as delightfully dry. This white wine never comes across as coarse or barren, but rather round and smooth. In the finish, this wine from the Burgundy region ultimately delights with beautiful length, with hints of brioche reappearing. |
| | This wine shows excellent depth and character. Some of the 1er Cru elements of the vineyard are included in the blend making it a great buy. Full-bodied and firm, with finesse. A well-balanced, straightforward wine with pleasant aromas of white fruit and oak. |
|
| A blend of four parcels, some in Pouilly, the rest in Solutré, with markedly more extract and minerality than the AxB. This is a Pouilly-Fuisse of impact and dynamic minerality, with deep savoury undertones below the citrus cream fruit. Impressive. |
| | Full bodied, fleshy, juicy and intense with a creamy supple freshness .
|
| |
The white wines are aged in two stages at the estate. First, they spend 12 months in barrels, then the wines are racked and finally transferred to vats where the wine is aged for an additional 6 months.
The palate is well balanced with a sappy opening, good depth, a slightly waxy in texture and that crucial acidic line keeping everything on an even keel.
|
|
|
Fine, long and persistent, with a crisp fleshed intensity on the palate, impressive body and power but with precision to its drive.
Its name comes from the Latin "Warenna", meaning a wood surrounded by walls or hedges reserved for the lord for breeding and hunting small game
|
| | The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatières is a slightly riper and more tropical bouquet, perhaps more "2014" than the Referts with hints of tinned peach and fresh pear on the nose, lime developing with continued aeration. The palate is clean and fresh with a killer line of acidity, vibrant and poised, and with more density than the 2014 Referts with superb salinity towards the finish. |
| | On the palate, the acidity of this Puligny-Montrachet is very present, but discreet and controlled, giving way to an intense mellowness and impressive persistence on the finish. Sylvain Bzikot's meticulous and rigorous work has produced a most harmonious whole, where intensity and tension combine to perfection, to the delight of our Burgundy-loving palates! |
