White Wine

From racy, crisp, Riesling, to rich full-bodied Chardonnay the white wine world has an incredible array of wine styles on offer.

Head to the Rhône Valley, where you’ll, Viognier, Roussane and Marsanne with their amazing textures and spice. Cross the border to Italy and it’s Arneis, Verdicchio, Greco, Carricante, and, Garganega offering up often flavours very different to those of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Revel in the diversity of white wine styles created, as winemakers seek to balance sugar, acid, alcohol, phenolics, the use of oak, lees, and, skin contact to create wines of harmony and personality.

Perhaps in Riesling more than any other white wine will you find nearly every style imaginable.

The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making white wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.

Australia’s push to evolve Chardonnay is the perfect example!

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Vin de France Blanc Etc 2023

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Vin de France Blanc Etc 2023

Sauvignon Blanc | Pouilly-Fumé, France

These sites produce the most direct, accessible expression of Pouilly-Fumé. Under Louis-Benjamin's guidance, its quality has improved dramatically, now rivalling his other wines. Layered and already open, the 2023 offers enormous complexity and pleasure for a young Dagueneau. Of course, it will only get better after 3 to 10 years in bottle.The first bottle of Didier's wines I devoured was a bottle of Silex in 2001 with Doc when I was working with him at Yarra Yering.

What a wonderful exploration of Trebbiano the wines of Ciavolich, Tiberio and Emidio Pepe. On the continuum Tiberio is the freshest with least oxidative handling, Ciavolich is in the middle and Emidio Pepe has the full beans! All are delightful expression and all that is left for us to do is enjoy and celebrate the difference.The 2024 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fosso Cancelli blends dusty dried flowers with white peaches and a lift of lemon sorbet.

Claudio Mariotto 'Bricco San Michele' Derthona Timorasso 2024

Claudio Mariotto ‘Bricco San Michele’ Derthona Timorasso 2024

Timorasso | Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi

The 2024 sees a fuller, more textural wine than the 2023. The more golden colour the first indication. Textural, every so slightly oily phenolics and a gentle oxidative hand yield a complex, intriguing wine. Jasmine and white flowers lift from the glass over spices, white stone fruit and a little something exotic. Viognier and Chenin feels are playing around the edges. Elegant honey mixes with pops of cumquat and citrus zest. Mouthcoating with a transparency and a little pith at play. A demonstr

Domaine Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos 'Tris de Chavigne' 2024

Domaine Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos ‘Tris de Chavigne’ 2024

Chardonnay | Pouilly-Fuisse, Burgundy

The 2024 Mâcon-Pierreclos Tris de Chavigne blossoms in the glass with aromas of pear, white currant and freshly baked bread, mingled with a subtle exotic note of passion fruit. Medium-bodied and fleshy yet vibrant, it reveals a texture rarely encountered in this vintage, framed by structuring extract and a cool, marine profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. It incorporates some of the fruit that would typically inform his Juliette et Les Vieilles de Chavigne cuvée.Kristaps Karklin

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard Blanc VDF 2023

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard Blanc VDF 2023

Sauvignon Blanc | Pouilly-Fumé, Centre Loire

This wine is priced above Pur Sang these days, indicating how highly the Domaine rates the vineyard and the wine. Buisson Renard is a cool mid-slope terroir on the southwest side of the Saint-Andelain hill and the soils are a mixture of clay and flint (or silex). The site was historically named Buisson Menard, as was the wine initially, but a wine writer mistakenly reviewed the wine as Buisson Renard. Renard means fox in French, and Buisson means bush, so the error gave the wine a name

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex VDF 2023

Sauvignon Blanc | Pouilly-Fumé, Centre Loire

Silex is the ultimate Dagueneau wine in many ways: super-mineral, pure, crystalline and typically very long-lived. Silex means flint, and this wine is produced only from the flint-rich soils on the north-facing slopes of the hill of Saint-Andelain. The vines mostly range between 35 and 65 years old, and yields are kept lower than in most other vineyards. Silex ferments and ages in Dagueneau’s famed cigar-shaped barrels and other casks, and a portion now matures in 220-litre Wineglobe�

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Sancerre ‘Le Mont Damné’ 2023

Sauvignon Blanc | Pouilly-Fumé, Centre Loire

Rarely exported as there is so little made, we only get a few bottles even at the best of times. Didier Dagueneau always dreamed of making a great Sancerre from the chalky slopes of Chavignol. It was only in the late ‘90s that he was able to acquire half a hectare of Les Monts Damnés, near Gérard Boulay’s Comtesse parcel, and soon planted it to his own exacting standards. The south-facing, steep site has white soil packed with chalk. The historic name of the parcel or climat (within Le

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang VDF 2023

Sauvignon Blanc | Pouilly-Fumé, Centre Loire

Pur Sang, meaning ‘thoroughbred’ in French, originated from Didier Dagueneau’s frustration at wine writers constantly referencing that he ploughed this site by horse. The first label featured a horsehide rug image, if you get the joke. One of Dagueneau’s historic superstars, it comes from a 30-year-old, densely planted vineyard called La Folie (madness) in Saint-Laurent-l’Abbaye. Farmers wondered at Dagueneau buying the land, which was not a vineyard at the time (it had been long ago

Timorasso

Significant build in development and élévage over the classico. Looks to have spent time in a gentle oxidative state ie barrel. Flowing and long. A gentle and caressing feel. Fine. Balanced and more immediately comforting with lovely mid-palate weight. A creamy layer in the mid-palate suggests time on lees. Feels a little like a very good dry Vouvray Chenin. Pops of baking spice, ginger and poached pear mingle with gently ripe white stone fruit. An excellent Timorasso!Paul Kaan, Wine Decod

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

AP: 03 22. The 2021er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett AP 03 is a fruity-styled wine with a still quite restrained and smoky nose at first? It takes a while to reveal its complexity and finesse underlined by fine notes of stone fruit, lead pencil, herbs, bergamot, blackberry, cherry, violet, and lavender. The wine is still very tight on the palate but already hints at the greatness to come as there is great density and purity. The finish is still somewhat sharp yet its incredibly multi-layer

It is slightly reductive at first and needs a few minutes in the glass to reveal its ripe and engaging nose of pineapple, candied grapefruit, apricot, pear puree, honey, raspberry, and smoke.

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc Grey Label 2021

Chenin Blanc | Loire Valley, Anjou

The Anjou Blanc was previously produced from bought-in fruit, but the 2021 vintage was made up of 50% of the estate's fruit. Tasted after being opened for three days, it has taken on an added richness and roundness that wasn't previously there. There's a mere soupçon of flinty character. Intense and precise, with laser-like acidity flying through the mouth like an arrow. The finish is nutty, pastry and lightly salty, lingering with the merest tonic-like bitterness.Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous 91
