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!

Ansitz Waldgries Südtiroler Weissburgunder Riserva ‘ITOS’ 2020

Weissburgunder | Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

What he achieves by a combo of half vinified in stainless steel and half the ferments in barrel, is the ideal melding of the racy with the complex and textured.A pretty flash Weissburgunder AKA Pinot Bianco! Excellent drinking. A layer of that shroomy, wet wool earthy funk I often see, and enjoy in high acid whites. White flowers perfume. Ripe white grapefruit. Counterpointed with a little stonefruit, fresh and zippy.

The 1er Cru Champs Gain is in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, just below the famous En Cailleret. Like most of the surrounding crus, it sits on red clay and limestone soils. This profile is predisposed to wines which balance juicy concentration and mineral finesse. Benoît vinified the grapes from a handkerchief-sized parcel of 70-year-old vines located on the upper part of the vineyard. There, the soil is thinner and chalkier, and the vines quickly reach the bedrock. These vines also lie clo

Situated just below the village, this great vineyard is Moreau’s largest 1er Cru, even if it remains small at just over 0.3 hectares, across two parcels. The first parcel is 70 years old and sits on thin, stony, calcareous soils, giving the wine finesse and plenty of salty minerality. The second parcel, aged 50 years, is located on slightly richer, brown clay soils and produces a more opulent, layered wine.“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie is lovely, wafting from the gl

Rising above the village, this outstanding 1er Cru will be well known to buyers of Paul Pillot & Ramonet. The Moreau family have farmed here for generations, and Benoît himself converted this site to organics. Specifically, this wine comes from a tiny tranche of 60-year-old vines in the northern section of the vineyard (near Les Vergers), where the soils are less marked by the red clay often associated with this cru. Instead, there is a strong limestone presence, resulting in deep, yet mine

AP: 19 22. The 2021er Hofberg Kabinett, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from fruit harvested at approx. 79° Oechsle in the backside of the main hill of the vineyard and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (45 g/l). It proves quite restrained and smoky at first, and shows a rather herbal and earthy nose of wet slate, minty herbs, thyme, cinnamon, and anise.

“Here is the only wine that with 100% stainless-steel for all vinification and elevage. All from Lignorelles. That’s a very friendly nose – slightly round and faintly caramel despite tank elevage – an inviting sweetness. A little touch of green in the flavours but also lots of energy and citrus bitters. Very engaging, tasty wine. Long too.”Bill Nanson

Highly refined on the nose and shows delicately aromatic fruit with a nose -tickling minerality of crushed stones and herbs. Round and juicy as well as highly finessed and salty on the palate, this is a fantasti c sweet Riesling. It is so fine and filigreed, so delicate and salty that you don't taste any sweetness here—just a dream of the finest Mosel Riesling. This is dangerously good, piquant and tensioned, and you will drink a bottle far too quickly. An outrageous Auslese! Drink 2026-2060

“All the domaine’s wines are vinified parcel by parcel – this comes from a single parcel in Lignorelles but a big parcel of 5ha and it’s the biggest cuvée of the domaine. Here starting to see a proportion of older barrels for elevage. A similar roundness and sweet invitation to drink. Mouth- filling, silky – here is a super wine for drinking today! The finish is pure and full of energy – again with lovely citrus-skin complexity. That’s really excellent.”Bill Nanson
