Place of Changing Winds ‘Tradition’ White 2022

White Blend | Victoria, Australia

“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

Moreau-Naudet Petit Chablis 2022

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

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

The most mineral of the 1er's This is where it’s at line length precision harmony. Wicked acid yet the fruit to back it. Fine linear, salty, heading more down the citrus line with a little long ferment nuttiness and Crème Patissiere. Great shape. Crystalline purity. There are things happening here.Consumed Oct 2023 Those things have been happening!Over the course of the year a little flesh has been added to the bones, the fermentation artifacts have layered in seamlessly and the b

Rainoldi Nebbiolo Brut Rosé 2018

Rosé | Valtellina, Inferno

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

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

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

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

A vibrant, energetic core of long even fruit layered and complex, particularly for a wine at this price point. A fine fragrance, and delicate perfume entance. Sophistication tannins and playful cleansing edge and a little spice. It will certainly benefit from a day open or an early decant in its youth. Juicy, thirst-quenching and simply delicious. Plenty more to come from a very, very good wine!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 2024The 2022 Rully du Clos de Bellecroix Cuvée Marey comes f

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.
