Varietal

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. Chalky acid with a dusting of phenolics adds cleansing grip. Superb long

Fascinating Pecorini. A little skin contact yields a lick of burnt match that sits nicely as a complexing line over complex fruits with citrus oils. Nicely developed its an example of a textural Pecorino. That will please those after a less funky pecorino than Pepe’s and a much more textural complete it cuts a fine balance between the full blown styles and the fresh precise ones. A lot to love here.

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin La Princée 2023

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

La Princée is a blend of 10 small village parcels from across just under three hectares. One-third of these vines are now over 60 years old, and the remainder were planted in 1985 and 2000. All the parcels are in the cooler, east-facing Saint-Aubin combe (valley), on chalky/mineral soils. It is therefore no surprise that this is a racy white Burgundy with great energy and a limestone-rich personality.The 2023 Saint-Aubin La Princée comes from a vineyard suffering degeneration of vines,

Lamy already makes a terrific, old-vine cuvée from just under a hectare in Les Tremblots, planted between 1946 and 1970. The HD portion of the parcel has massale selection vines interplanted between a few of these rows, bringing the density up to 22,000 vines per hectare. Although Lamy admits he has created a rod for his own back—his high-density parcels require more than twice the work of his regular parcels—he is obviously thrilled by the class of wine he is achieving. The ripeness, ac
The Lamy family have farmed the vines here for three generations, and the parcel borders the southeast corner of Bâtard right next to Madame Bize-Leroy’s Domaine d’Auvenay plot. Is it worth mentioning that d’Auvenay’s Criots is far more expensive? Olivier Lamy has taken the density here up to 24,000 vines per hectare, and unlike d’Auvenay (and most of its Grand Cru contemporaries), this wine is entirely unfettered by new oak (instead, it is raised in a single 250-litre, six-year-o
This singular wine comes from 0.7 hectares in Derrière chez Edouard, planted 20 years ago at a density of roughly 30,000 vines to the hectare (the vines are spaced around 30cm apart in 1m rows). At such a density, Lamy typically gets a maximum of three tiny clusters per vine (sometimes one and sometimes none!) and the entire plot only yields enough juice to fill the contents of a single barrel. Lamy’s trials with higher density have produced completely different wines and he has subsequently
A murger is a pile of stones or a wall made from rocks extracted from a vineyard’s soil. The vineyard name (roughly translating to “the wall of dog’s teeth”) evokes the fragmented, jagged stones that abound on the soil. It’s a rocky hillside vineyard that borders the 1er Cru Puligny vines of Champ Gain (not Folatières as suggested in Neal Martin’s note below) and sits above Montrachet, literally on the “Mont-Rachet”.

En Remilly is one of Lamy’s prestige terroirs, sitting above the Côte de Beaune’s Grand Cru vineyards and producing one of his finest and most sought-after wines. Lamy has two hectares in this vineyard (planted in 1989) across two distinct parcels that sit just above the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru. One of these parcels is quite near to his Clos de la Chatenière vineyard and is a warmer terroir on a loosely knit mix of clay and limestone. The second is a far rockier site on almost pure

Colli di Lapio Fiano di Avellino 2024

Fiano | Italy, Campania

Once again, a stunning example of what Fiano is capable of. , brimming with orchard and stone fruits that complement Fiano’s hallmark notes of smoke and dried herbs. The drive and energy through the palate is superb, yielding a wine that is both a pleasure to consider and to drink.The 2024 from a cooler year show is looking sharp. Fresh and energetic with a fine salty acid line. Flowers, pear, layered creamy lees work. Little ginger and spice. A savoury layer with a garrigue woody herb.

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Petit Chablis 2020

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“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

The name 'Calvarino' translates to 'small ordeal'. Andrea Pieropan told us it was named after the hill Jesus was crucified on, reflecting how difficult the soil is to work and the tortuous path which winds from top to bottom.A ripping Calvarino. A smidge fuller than general with the acid to hold it. As usual, the fresher of the 2 Cru wines. Excellent core of vibrant fruit with loads going on.

“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
