Chardonnay Wines
Gone is the season of the ABC (Anything but Chardonnay) white wine drinker – Chardonnay wine has seen a resurgence of late and Chardon-nay-sayers are starting to come around to this versatile and rewarding variety. Winemakers love it too, as it provides so many options that can yield wildly different results... Oak, or no oak, full or partial malolactic fermentation or indeed, stop the ferment before malo starts... Depending on what the winemaker chooses to do, you can see incredibly bright and acidic options that are crisp and refreshing or woody and creamy versions that seem as though they may have been strained through a lumberjacks jockstrap... either way, Chardonnay white wine is back baby, and we love it!

- Maison Jean Loron Pouilly Fuisse BIO ‘La Coronile’ 2019Special Price $110.00 Regular Price $120.00A stunning White Burgundy, aka Chardonnay, from a legendary producer who has been fermenting grapes since 1711. Bill Nanson, of the Burgundy Report, first tasted this wine 3 years ago, offering ‘More complexity and vibrance to this aroma – more barrel too ... a wine that’s more about the future. Wide, saline, concentrated, and certainly mineral. The finish is subtle but very persistent. You should give this wine at least 3 years in the cellar – or I would anyway. Excellent wine, with the potential for great.’ So, we’ve waited 3 years and the wine is ravishingly beautiful – voluptuous yet structured, pendulously stonefruity yet mineral, with a lovely cheese edge that comes from barrel worked and lees stirred Chardonnay. Magic stuff. Learn More
