Cool air from the Andes Mountains in the southern winegrowing region of Lontué, provides the perfect, cool climate for growing Chardonnay in this beautiful part of Chile. This is filled with ripe peach and subtle tropical fruit, that makes you aware that you are in the southern hemi...(read more)

Lively bright and so pure - a lemony briskness crystalline definition.

From a site by Saint Albain, at 250m altitude. Aged 10 months in old oak foudres, and bottled under Stelvin. Lovely fresh pineapple and citrus, sweet bright fruit, very precise.

In such a warm vintage the Boudin family have done a great job here presenting a fresh and nicely clipped Chablis. As ever their trademark soft fruit and weight is in there but delivered brightly and with good verve, another very pleasing release from this house favourite.

The sample we tasted was from from one cuve - of three, that will be blended. Good feel. Yes! This is very promising! Intense, but dry and fresh too. Lovely acidity. Great bounce and ping to the citrus crusted fruit core. Limey, pithy feel on the palate. Good and delicious flow with a fine...(read more)

From vines in Pommard. Supple and bright sleek fruit with a core of sweetness and a nice drive and length - only young vines but this is good.

There is good freshness here too. Brighter and also broader. This is quite chunky in the fruit feel - but nice style and good mineral lift. There is a phenolic texture, nice weight of dry extract. And then a nice cleansing sweep of minerality. Soft apple notes waft across the finish.

Oatmeal and crushed almond, even a little touch of hazelnut, A little more richness and texture than the Village, but a similar lime, lemon and grapefruit clarity, a delicious spangle brightness to the fruit and acidity in the finish, showing a little salt and flint. Very stylish.

15-25hl/ha is normal here, always a tiny yield; these 70 year-old vines give gorgeous but intense juice - sadly just not much of it anymore. But Virginie loves them and will not replant. Brisker, more energy. Really lovely old-vine intensity which still has sherbety-like pep. Premier cru q...(read more)

Lovely bright gold. 50-year-old vines. 'There may be some Chardonnay musqué (a clone with a hint of Muscat about it) in this', says Daniel. There's certainly extra richness as usual, hazelnut, savoury - lovely.

Lydie's 2018 has immediate impact with good weight on the palate. The fruit is really quite intense. It is a Montagny with the volume turned up! This is gently spicy with some good tropical notes and a nice richness, but not fat up front. Deep and nice phenolic weight. A broad sweep of fru...(read more)
