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

As mentioned in the note for the red, the Clos Saint-Jean vineyard lies right next door to the cellars, and the Estate’s parcel sits in the heart of the original clos (i.e. the vines are surrounded by stone walls). The white wines here deliver plenty of texture and depth, courtesy of the clay-rich soils and mature vines. The oldest of these vines are now 80-plus years old. A super release of this wine. It offers great finesse for the vintage, yet remains deep and powerful, with a long, sappy c

The five-hectare vineyard of Les Mazures is one of Chassagne's finest village parcels, producing classy, textural Burgundies. With rocky, limestone-rich soils and a southeast aspect, the location is just under the Premier Cru Les Champs-Gains, which explains the quality and breed on offer! The Pillot family owns 0.63 ha of mature vines, and the wine they produce is a superb, textural and rocky white burgundy, year in, year out.“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Mazures has a refined

As noted above, Pitangerets has slightly poorer and stonier soils than Charmois and produces firmer, more savoury wines (although in 2022, this difference is less pronounced). Pillot farms half a hectare of vines that are approaching their 60th harvest. Some growers prefer to label this wine under the easier-to-pronounce climat name of Les Combes. Again, this is a powerful, dense, layered wine that starts rich but tightens up as it travels across the palate, with lovely, sappy freshness and dr

Both of Pillot’s Saint-Aubin vineyards lie on the east-facing hillside bordering Chassagne Premier Cru Chaumées. This is the end of the Chassagne hillside. The sites are separated from the rest of Saint Aubin by a small valley—the Premier Cru of En Remilly sits on the other side of this valley. It’s a very interesting part of Saint-Aubin, distinct from the terroirs of Domaine Hubert Lamy, for example. Les Charmois sits higher than Les Pitangerets, and although there is plenty of limesto

Tiberio Pecroino IGP ‘Quarmari’ 2023

Pecorino | Italy, Abruzzo

The 2023 Pecorino Quarmari sneaks up on you with a bouquet that starts quite understated and coy but becomes explosive with time. A burst of crushed rocks and sage gives way to nuances of green apple and sweet spice. It possesses a deep, glycerol-like texture, nearly oily in feel, with tart orchard fruits and masses of stimulating citrus further enhanced by a core of brisk acidity. The 2023 finishes with a gentle tannic heft, leaving Facetime alted lime to linger. The Quarmari takes Pecorino t

The 2024 Pecorino wafts up with an airy mix of mint leaf, chamomile and green melon nuances. It opens with a burst of zesty acidity contrasted by hints of candied citrus, spice and tart Granny Smith apple. The 2024 leaves the palate completely refreshed as it finishes long yet crisp.Eric Guido, Vinous 91 Points

“The 2023 Riesling Cuvée Ste. Catherine Schlossberg Grand Cru still has a flinty crackle of reduction that lays itself on fine pear and citrus notions. The palate is juicy, light, bright, stony and beautifully svelte with a lovely, zesty tension. Crystalline clarity defines the 2023. (Bone-dry)”Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous 96 Points SP 99

This is at once more floral and a bit riper as well with its liqueur-like nose of vaguely exotic scents, especially white peach, passion fruit, crushed fennel and jasmine tea. The mouthfeel of bigbodied yet gorgeously textured broad-shouldered flavors exude evident minerality, indeed this is akin to rolling rocks around the palate, all wrapped in a bone-dry, citrus and hugely long finish. This is an imposingly-scaled and overly powerful Chevalierthat should amply repay 10 to 15 years of keeping.

Champagne Salon Cuvée ‘S’ Brut Blanc de Blanc 2013

Chardonnay | Les Mesnil sur Oger, Champagne

"The 2013 Salon is a huge wine. Dense and explosive, the 2013 possesses almost shocking textural richness for a young Salon. If offers a perfect example of the vintage in the Côtes des Blancs, a year in which ripeness and acids were both elevated. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint and white pepper explode onto the palate. Bright saline notes pull it all back together on the finish."
