Laurent Ponsot 1er Cru Cuvée de la Centaurée
LAURENT PONSOT 1er Cru Cuvée de la Centaurée , Meursault-Charmes
Laurent Ponsot 1er Cru Cuvée du Myosotis
Meursault-Blagny Cuvée du Myosotis 1er Cru Sourced from the commune of Blagny, legally classified within the confines of Meursault, this is a thrilling wine of strident length, latent power and an alloyed, ball bearing-like precision. It rolls through the mouth, staining the cheeks with riffs on apricot pith, candied lemon rind, dried mango and a toasted melody of assorted nuts. There is plenty of oak sitting on this, boding well for its procession into a long future in the cellar. A Meursault for the ages, in the hands of a master.
Pierro Chardonnay
Margaret River is a world renowned Chardonnay producing region and Pierro can rightfully stake a claim as to why. Incredibly complex, it is a tangle of fine-boned acid, lees complexity, pristine fruit and the most detailed use of good quality oak. Extremely enjoyable now, but will benefit from short to medium term cellaring.
Laurent Ponsot Cuvée du Pandoréa
Cuvée du Pandoréa Meursault Six suppliers enable this plush Meursault, built in the traditional mould of ripe stone fruits, buttery viscosity and ample scents of toasted hazelnuts and generous oak. Inimitably of place, this is a wine for those pining for flavour and textural amplitude, in an era of linear expressions. A top tier wine built for cellaring or earlyish approachability, as long as the drinker does not mind a rail of phenolics and salubrious, cinnamon-scented oak. Expressive. Exotic. Absolutely delicious.
Domaine Bernard Defaix 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre
Montée de Tonnerre is often regarded as the most complete of the Chablis Premier Crus, and Domaine Bernard Defaix has a long-standing reputation for producing serious, age-worthy wines from this site. Located just east of the Grands Crus, the vineyard shares a similar exposure and Kimmeridgian soils, giving wines of depth and line. The Defaix family has farmed organically here since 2009. Fermentation and maturation occur in a blend of stainless steel and older oak, imparting structure without overt wood influence. Each year, the wine exhibits a clear saline line, with notes of citrus, fennel, and oyster shell on the nose, followed by a mouthful of white stone fruit, a mineral cut, and a long, tapering finish. It opens up well with time in bottle and comfortably rewards cellaring. For those who prize Chablis with both detail and drive, this is a benchmark example of the style and the Montée de Tonnerre vineyard.
Yering Station Reserve Chardonnay

Tony Bish Zen Chardonnay
Domaine Michelot Meursault Les Narvaux
This parcel is located on the upper slopes above the Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières appellation. The clay/limestone soil has a subsoil of extremely hard white rock riddled with fissures. These allow the roots to circulate through the white limestone. The parcels southern exposure, coupled with a steady 20% slope, affords the grapes excellent ventilation leading to a harvest that is both ripe and healthy. The wine often presents aromas of candied orange (or other citrus fruits) on the nose and in the mouth.
