Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

Domaine Testut Chablis Vielles Vignes 2019

The pedigree of this fruit at the Chablis level is pretty bloody good! It's from a 50 year old parcel adjacent to the Grand Cru, Blanchot!Bloody tasty Village. Beautifully weighted and developed. Often at this level Chablis can be thin and raw. Testut here, as with all his wines shows a deft touch in raise the wine and building generosity. A wine that can be hoovered now, it’ll drink well over the next few years. Great flow across your palate, fine, sophisticated, perfect everyday drinking

White Blend from Macedon, Victoria

Place of Changing Winds ‘Tradition’ White 2022

“So the wine is two thirds a marsanne and roussanne blend and the rest a considered portion of chardonnay. Fancy oak, as is often the way of POCW, is also applied. I loved this from hello. Texture, weight, a slice of fresh cut, just ripe stone fruit acidity, a fuzz to the overall feel with some dollops of nougat amongst it all. Fragrant, full flavoured yet refreshing, a saline trill that speaks of minerality. It’s a cuddly wine with enough zestiness to refresh with each sip. Delicious drinki

Rosé from Inferno, Valtellina

Rainoldi Nebbiolo Brut Rosé 2018

First released in 1980! Cracking 'Metodo Classico' fizz from Valtellina! I've had some solid sparkling Nebbiolo from Piedmont before. None quite like this! When this was poured for me I had no expectations and ended up having a WOW! moment.Made from Chiavennasca 92% A.K.A Nebbiolo, Pignola 4%, Rossola 4%.Excellent texture and mousse, light salmon colour with a red fruit down the raspberry line, superb acid, balancing alow dose. Very sophisticated. A play of light woody herbs, rose, fa

Chardonnay from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Blanc 1er Cru ‘Les Cloux’ 2022

18 months élévage shows in a complete lovely fine expressive, complex Chardonnay. The shift from tasting the Chablis of Bernard Defaix to Côte du Chalonaise wines of Jaeger-Defaix sees an immediate feel of opulence. No bâtonage old oak 100% malo. Again calm and harmonious. Les Cloux remains the tighter and more linear of the Domaine's two Premier Cru whites. Clearly rounder across the palate than the Chablis whilst maintaining clarity and complexity.Here the wood treatment is more su

Chardonnay from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Blanc 1er Cru ‘Rabourcé’ 2022

Rounder, fuller and richer than the Les Cloux a bolder interpretation of Rully. Soft plush and generous, yet still not heavy. A little broader across the back palate though tightening as it finishes. A great set of flavours. A comforting Chardonnay that envelops you. As seems typical of the two Domaines of the family there is a good deal of complexity.A subtle but not imperceptible application of wood sets off the cool and airy blend of white orchard fruit, citrus confit and a hint of cr

Moreau-Naudet Petit Chablis 2022

Not all Petit Chablis is created equal! Moreau’s Petit Chablis comes from a single 2.5-hectare site between Courgis and Beine, just outside Chablis on the route to Auxerre. It has a southwest orientation and lies on Kimmeridgian soils (as opposed to the higher Portlandian soils on which most Petit is grown). Half of the plot is home to 25- to 30-year-old vines, while the other half is somewhat older at 45 to 50.The wine ferments spontaneously in large vats of 32 to 100 hectolitres. This re

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru ‘Côte de Léchet’ 2021

The hallmark citrus aromas of a fine Côte de Léchet are present on the nose of quinine, oyster shell and poached apple scents. There is fine volume to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that flash ample minerality on the saline, youthfully austere and focused finale. Lovely.Burghound ♥ Outstanding 90-93 Points🔥 HOT TIP - Drink it at 12-14ºC or even a bit warmer to get the most from it.

Stepping up in complexity and layering. A perfume and florals float out of the glass clearly more depth here yet with transparency and clarity that sees a unified personality, harmonious and delicious. Riper flavours than the village Chablis a little more power. Low perceived acidity, still plenty. Those hallmark Defaix savoury, creamy characters at play.“Five star wine. Mid lemon colour, the bouquet has fineness here. Wonderful vibrations, mostly white fruit, a sensation of white peb

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis 1er ‘Côte de Lechet’ 2019

Sitting between the Vaillons and Mont de Milieu in terms of richness and minerality Delicacy, laced and fine, perfumed, elegant and long, a little primary would be interesting to see what a little time in old wood would do for this. The salinity is back in force. Tighter it will need bottle age to show it’s best. The phenolics / acid complex will take time. Everything is there waiting to come together and give a little patience you will be in a very happy place.

Direct, structured, still with purity and energy and faintly austere too – overtly great villages – what a wine – bravo!”Bill Nanson“Pale lemon, with a beautifully perfumed nose, ripe but stopping short of honeysuckle.

Riesling from Alsace, France

Weinbach Cuvée Theo Riesling 2021

Monopole of young vines at the base of Schlossberg in Le Clos des Capucins. Fascinating initially a little estery, openning in the glass to reveal fruit with savoury complex spices a little apricot kernel. Soft round and luscious. Rich with exceptional élévage / development. So together. A lovely dirty earthy edge to complement the fruit. Long fine textural so long powerful and muscular real presence. There is a Marcel Deiss thing going on here. “Delightful nose of pink grapefruit,
