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 Antoine Jobard Bourgogne Blanc 2023

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Ripe aromas are composed by notes of apple, citrus and a whiff of fennel.

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. This should drink well young and with 5 to 8 years of keeping. Drink 2029+Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92Points

Laurent Tribut Chablis MAGNUM 2023

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

Maison Ponsot Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne 2020

Chardonnay | Côte du Beaune, Aloxe-Corton

First produced in 2009, Ponsot’s Corton-Charlemagne is drawn from two parcels, both in Aloxe: one on the Pernand border in Le Charlemagne and the second in Les Languettes. As you can see from the notes below, this is a deep, fleshy yet energetic and vibrant Charlemagne. A great success!“Split equally between fruit from Les Languettes and Le Charlemagne on the Aloxe side, this was a slow fermenter. It didn't finish its alcoholic fermentation until July 2021! As they say, good things c

Château Grillet 2022

Viognier | Rhône Valley, Château Grillet

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

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.
