Flowstone Queen of the Earth Chardonnay
Pascal Bouchard Petit Chablis
Beautiful brilliant pale yellow in color, with green reflections. Its nose is very expressive and fruity, with iodine and citrus aromas. On the palate, starts off frank and lively with a mineral hint during the finish.
Martinborough Vineyard Chardonnay
Domaine William Fevre Saint-Bris Sauvignon Blanc
Fresh, intense bouquet with asserted blackcurrant bud and boxwood notes. Fresh and round on the palate, with spontaneous expression. A wine with exquisite lightness. Manual harvest in the vineyards. Use of the principle of gravity so as to avoid all pumping, which could harm the quality of the wine. Pre-fermentation maceration for 12 hours to extract the maximum amount of fruit and all the typicity of the Sauvignon blanc grape variety. Brief pneumatic pressing to obtain a gentle separation of the solid and liquid of the grape. Very light static settling of the juice to preserve enough fine lees so that the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations can occur naturally. 8 to 10 months maturation, in small stainless steel vats to preserve freshness. One of the greatest Domaines in Chablis. Founded by William Fevre in 1957, its vineyard holdings include 12 hectares of premier cru and 16 hectares of grand Cru vines. The Domaine's fruit is harvested by hand, a rarity in Chablis, and rigorously sorted at the winery to ensure the highest quality. In recent times the amount of new oak used has been cut back and today the average age of the barrels in the cellar is five years. From their Petit Chablis to the Domaine's six Grand Cru wines, the quality is superb and the range from Domaine William Fevre is a benchmark for the wines of the region.
Cape Mentelle Chardonnay
The citrus rind and grapefuit lead the palate to an overall fine yet textural journey. Cape Mentelle Chardonnay had this distinctive minerally line too, apparent with focussed refreshing acidity. Faint nuancesof soft nougat and cashews also add to what is a harmonious balance and an elegant and length finish.
Simonnet-Febvre Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons
Pristine concentration and complexity of favour are the hallmarks of Simmonet-Febvre, a revered maker in Chablis. Stonefruits and ruby grapefruit with grilled nuts, owing no doubt to Simmonet-Febvre's insistence on ageing their Premier-Cru wines on lees for over a year. Has all the zippy-freshness you would expect from a high-level Chablis.
Julie Fevre Petit Chablis
Domaine Des Grosses Pierres Sancerre
From the spiritual home of Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre, in France's Loire Valley comes this brilliantly expressive aromatic white from Domaine Des Grosses Pierres. Great floral notes on the nose with a nicely balanced palate of minerals, quartz and lingering ripe citrus fruits. This subtle Sauv Blanc is perfect for light meals and delicate Asian cuisine.
Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Chardonnay
Yabby Lake Chardonnay is a fine, elegantly structured Chardonnay which is still developing. Subtle, toasty oak provides a background for the citrus and white peach flavours and the acidity lingers and extends the finish.
