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 Antoine Jobard Meursault 2023

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Here too there is a whiff of the exotic lurking in the background of the aromas of jasmine tea, white flower and passion fruit. The very generously proportioned flavors are rich to the point of opulence with a highly seductive mouthfeel before tightening up on the impressively long, balanced and complex finale. This is an excellent Meursault villages that is warmly recommended plus it should age gracefully. ♥ Outstanding Top valueAllen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 PointsNM 90-92Not

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis 2023

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

Sourced from a mosaic of exposures and elevations and incorporating old vines planted between 1969 and 1972, the 2023 Chablis Village offers aromas of pear, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium- to full-bodied, ample and charming, it is underpinned by ripe yet racy acidity and concludes with a long, saline finish. Harvested earlier to preserve freshness, this is a well-executed village-level Chablis. Drink: 2026 – 2038Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate 90 Points

There is a vague suggestion of the exotic on the aromas of white peach, dried apricot, acacia and solid Chablis typicity. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is also round, sappy and succulent with more evident minerality suffusing the lingering and refreshingly dry finale.

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

Ripe aromas of poached pear and apple compote are laced with hints of iodine, lemon rind and a whiff of brine. The succulent, round and sappy middle weight flavors display notably better than average persistence on the citrusy, clean and nicely dry finale. This punches above its weight and is worth a look. Drink 2028+ ♥ Outstanding Top ValueAllen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points

Here too there is a whiff of the exotic that includes lychee and passion fruit on the layered nose laced with iodine, seaweed, floral and lemongrass wisps. The exceptionally rich, even opulent, medium-bodied flavors manage to be at once generous yet refined, all wrapped in a clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This is an interesting wine as the mid-palate is quite open and lush while the finish is fairly tightly wound. Worth checking out as this should drink well both young and with up to

We really sense the aromatic freshness of the Chardonnay coming from its acidity and the minerality from its mainly mineral terroir. All nurtured by oak notes mainly from foudres in which this wine was vinified and matured. The Margoté plot is located to the South of the Rully appellation. This area is cold and windy. We can almost smell the wind while tasting this wine.The palate is powerful with a round and precise texture full of contained energy. The « mineral » finish is the terroir

Located to the north of the Premiers Crus de Rully hill, the vines here are cultivated on one of the warmest terroirs of Rully with a South, South-eastern exposure.This exposure translates itself with notes of white flowers, honey and fresh citrus fruits.On the palate, it is the energy coming from the alliance of the Chardonnay and the terroir of the Rabourcé which surprises, with an aromatic freshness enhanced on the finish by light bitter notes creating a beautiful expression of salin

Rich flavours linked to aromas from Chardonnay, then you move to bitter skins associated with the bitterness from new barrels which render the wine very salivating.

AP: 20 20. The 2019er Hofberg Beerenauslese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from early selections of fully botrytized grapes harvested at 140° Oechsle from the main hill of the vineyard, and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a quite smoky, yet ripe and aromatic nose of aniseed herbs, licorice, mango, melon, passion fruit, pear puree, dried apricot, and guava. The wine proves hugely sweet, honeyed, and almost syrupy, and leaves a delicate

Blend | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

When I was making wine at Yarra Yering we used a Solera barrel of Chardonnay in the liqueur d'expedition for the fizz. The depth, length, and, complexity of this wine with those Oxy notes was a great foil to the richness in the base wines.Fascinating to see what happend to wines made of quality fruit when you age them for extended periods in wood.

With its terroir split into two parts on either side of the Sainte Vaubourg fountain path, it has slightly deeper clay-limestone soils than the other Grands Crus.

"A slightly riper nose offers up aromas of white peach, lemongrass, hazelnut and spice hints that are in keeping with the equally ripe, round and nicely rich medium-bodied flavors that aren't quite as refined, all wrapped in a delicious and more complex finish. In a word, excellent."Allen Meadows, Burghound
