Description

#30 – James Suckling Top 100 under $30 for 2018

Franco’s never been one for super lean Chardonnay’s. He loves Chardonnay with flavour. The 2017 has generosity, purity and juicy natural acid. A complex array of different citrus fruits, with pithy goodness works beautifully. A little nutty, funky, solids layer in. It’s great to see it on the market with a year of bottle age. So together with a texture that caresses your tongue.

PS .. It scored a Gold in Halliday’s Chardy Challenge too!

Once you’ve got your laughing gear around this bad boy you’ll be gagging to try Franco D’Anna’s other next level Chardonnay’s, the 1’er and Syberia (the vineyard is bloody steep & cool, a calf buster).

We’ve scored a couple of dozen 2015 & 2017 1er Chardonnay too. Grab yourself a mini vertical of two great years!

A super cool vintage with no new oak and smells of cool lemons and white peaches. The palate is succulent and pithy with a very long chord-like serving of white peaches and a taut acid line. Dripping with concentration. Drink or hold.

A beauty close to perfection. It displays intense, perfectly ripe, healthy and refined raisin fruit on the nose along with tropical hints, herbal notes and dashes of lemon juice, while the stony/mineral expressions remain rather in the background but still add excitement and distinction. On the palate, this is an incredibly juicy, piquant, refined, salty and weightless yet intense Riesling with concentrated but highly stimulating fruit. The finish is long and amazing in its sensual finesse and e

Diam. Following the 2017 harvest, Leroux managed something of a coup when he won a hard-fought tender and was able to add to his Estate holdings in Meursault. While the purchase included a small selection of village plots (including Clos du Village) the real prizes were the well-sited parcels in Volany Santenots (Les Plures), Meursault-Blagny and a slice of Charmes, lying directly beneath Perrières. It’s a sliver of vines in the upper (dessus) portion of the vineyard, a section that has been
