Varietal
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!

Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
Where the Bourgogne is immediately approachable the village Chassagne Blanc needs a little more time. 1/3 from Les Masures next to Morgeot 2/3 Puligny side of Chassagne. Again this shows a wonderful progression through the quality standards in Burgundy. Jumping a rung in the ladder, the energy and precision is showing here. Whilst a full percentage lower in alcohol than the Bourgogne, it has greater depth and length. Current tightly wound, beautiful linear acid is supported nicely by a little te
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
Where the Bourgogne is immediately approachable the village Chassagne Blanc needs a little more time. The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc opens in the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnut and nutmeg, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and lively palate that's quite generous and fruit-driven this year, though I suspect it will tighten up with a second winter on the lees. 1/3 from Les Masures next to Morgeot 2/3 Puligny side of Chassagne. William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 Points
Viognier from Château Grillet, Condrieu
The perfume alone is enough to make your heart race! Château Grillet (pronounced Gree-yay) makes one of the world’s most sublime white wines from Viognier. It’s price is heading into the stratosphere.I loved playing with the Viognier at Yarra Yering, may have been from Grillet cuttings, may not ….. and was fortunate to drink my fair share of Grillet. For years there was never enough Viognier at YY to make an individual white wine. It was always co-fermented with Shiraz to make the Dr

Riesling from Saar, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
The Godfather of the Saar makes truly special wine deserving of the title. AP: 05 22. The 2021er Wiltinger braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese is a sweet wine with a beautiful nose made of orchard fruits, cassis, floral elements, bergamot, chalk, and smoke. The wine is beautifully filigreed and elegant on the palate.A subtle touch of whipped cream adds some depth and silkiness to the overall focused and zesty experience. The finish is really to die for as it is both creamy and hugely zest, as one
Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
About Faiveley Based in Nuits-St-Georges, the famous Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 and in more recent times, the domaine has greatly expanded its vineyards across the entire Côte d’Or. The grapes are entirely destemmed and fermented in a mix of new wooden vats for the top end wines and stainless steel for the lesser […]
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
The Chassagne comprises six parcels Benoît inherited from Domaine Bernard Moreau. The most northerly of these sites is En Journoblot, which borders Criots-Bâtard. The core of the bottling comes from three more centrally located vineyards: Voillenot Dessus and Les Chambres under the 1er Cru Maltroie, and Les Masures under the 1er Cru Champ Gains. The most southerly parcel is La Platière, which sits below the Abbaye de Morgeot climat. Altogether, these plots cover a surface of 1.4 h
Chardonnay from Puligny-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
“It has a lifted nose with green apple, a touch of petrichor and just a small reduction. The palate is well balanced with lovely poise. Touches of noisettes and orange rind build through the harmonious and persistent finish. Excellent.” Neal Martin, Vinous 90-92 Points JM 89-92
Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
A ripe and naturally exotic nose features notes of Asian-style tea, anise, white peach and a whiff of fennel. The relatively generously proportioned medium weight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality on the very dry and youthfully austere finish that also possesses a touch of bitter citrus character. Lovely juice and this is really quite classy. 2028+ (from an incredible 2.7 ha holding which makes Bouchard the largest owner).Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-93 Points
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
Partially botrytised grapes from different sectors of the vineyard. A stunningly refined, complex and delicately smoky nose of yellow peach, yellow flowers, minty herbs, Conference pear, anise and spices. Unleashes a magnificently smooth and almost unctuous sidee, yet gains in structure, focus and presence as it develops into an energetic and multi-layered finish. The aftertaste shines through its sublime fruit-zest tension. This rich noble-sweet riesling is a stunning expression of auslese i
Chardonnay from Saint-Aubin, Côte du Beaune
The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots unwinds in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of sweet citrus fruit, flowers and peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate, concluding with a bright, saline finish. This site was hit by hail, but you wouldn't know it.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 PointsFrom a south-west facing vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. This site catches a little more wind.This is also quite aromat
Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly-Fumé, Centre Loire
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.
