The interplay of caramelized-pear flavor, toasty character and crisp acidity, makes this an exciting, maturing chardonnay. I love the long, creamy finish, too. Drink or hold.

Much fresher than the Estate chardonnay of this vintage, this has lots of ripe pear character and generous body, but remains restrained. The further you ride the graceful, long finish, the more complete the overall impression becomes. Drink or hold.

Stunning nose of citrus blossom. Certainly not the most powerful or dramatic chardonnay out there, but there’s great finesse here, the fruit and oak beautifully integrated through the very long finish that's as fresh as a mountain stream. Drink or ho

Quite toasty nose with some hazelnuts and earthy funk, this is a powerful and impressively structured chardonnay that's anything but charming. Bold mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Quite a toasty nose, but with plenty of cool, herbal character and some lime zest. This is a compelling, cool-climate chardonnay that's at once sleek and racy, yet creamy and polished through the long, fine finish. Drink or hold.

Very delicate and complex nose of fresh herbs, limes and dried pears, then a palate that's both seriously concentrated and finely nuanced, the long mineral finish extremely fresh for five years of age. Which white burgundies offer that at an affordab

Lots of candied lemon peel and some fresh lime zest on the nose, making a strikingly fresh first impression. This is a very concentrated chardonnay that's as sleek and energetic as a thoroughbred race horse, as it gallops across the palate! Stunning

Only just beginning to really open up, this is staggeringly concentrated, cool-climate chardonnay with great lemon and mineral freshness. The very long, powerful finish leaves you in no doubt of the world-class originality of this wine. Drink or hold

Cool but rather funky nose from reduction, this powerful, highly structured wine lacks some charm at this point, but has many years of life ahead of it. Bold but monolithic finish. Drink or hold.

Very cool and delicate. Yet, in spite of the peach and honeysuckle aromas already showing, this is still quite tight. Precisely delineated, medium to full palate with a lot of minerality, the finish very long and precise. Better from 2019 or 2020.
