Domaine Joseph Colin Saint Aubin Compendium
Product Description: Seven plots, one voice—Saint-Aubin with detail and drive. Domaine Joseph Colin’s 2023 Saint-Aubin 'Compendium' is a blend of seven lieux-dits across the appellation, designed to express the full range of what Saint-Aubin can deliver in a single bottle. The name means “synthesis,” and it fits—this is a Chardonnay of clarity, subtle power and quiet complexity. Grown on limestone-rich soils and made with minimal intervention—no bâttonage, no fining, no sulphur until bottling—the wine is fermented in 350-litre oak barrels and aged briefly in stainless steel for added definition. The result? A focused, linear expression with notes of orange citrus, Granny Smith apple, flint and a saline twist. A slight herbal and chalky lift rounds it out, with tension that’s unmistakably Saint-Aubin. Drink now with a short decant or cellar until 2029. It pairs beautifully with roast poultry, shellfish, or rich white fish dishes. Tasting Notes NOSE – Citrus and chalk Orange zest, flint, white flowers and a whiff of sea spray. PALATE – Lively and textured Citrus peel, green apple and a subtle thread of liquorice. FINISH – Mineral and saline Chiselled, with lingering chalk and fine acidity. Reviews & Accolades “Clean, clear-cut fruit, chiselled... slightly saline to finish. This is rather fine in its understated style.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 89–91 Points
Domaine Joseph Colin Bourgogne Aligote Jardin de la Cote
Product Description: Sharp, citrusy and clean—Aligoté done right. Domaine Joseph Colin’s 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté 'Jardin de la Côte' is a bright, aromatic take on Burgundy’s underdog white. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards and bottled unfined and vegan-friendly, this release is all about zip and tension. It's Aligoté with precision and bounce—nothing flabby or overripe. Fermented and raised in 228-litre barrels (a deliberate choice by Joseph Colin to let the variety breathe), the wine hums with citrus and fresh herb aromatics. Lemon, lime, and a touch of sherbet meet light tropical notes and a finish that’s all about crisp energy. It’s a style that punches well above its designation, offering a clean-cut alternative to richer white Burgundy. Serve chilled with seafood, salads or goat’s cheese. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and herbal Punchy citrus with lemon, lime and hints of pineapple and fresh herbs. PALATE – Crisp and vibrant Zesty acidity with sherbet edges and mouthwatering texture. FINISH – Tense and refreshing Long, lime-driven finish with a mineral backbone. Reviews & Accolades “Attractive lemon and lime with a punchy, tangy Aligoté nose... vibrant, bouncy, far from over ripeness.” – Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “Perfumed... much more tension with a lime note to finish.” – Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
By Farr Chardonnay
Gary Farr is still one of Victoria's true Chardonnay maestro's and his Chardonnay By Farr is another example. Taken from the original By Farr vineyard, this is a clearly a wine of true clarity and finesse. Flavours of melon and hints of spice with wonderful oak integration mean this wine is simply delicious upon release, but handle some careful medium-term cellaring.
By Farr GC Cote Vineyard Chardonnay
The wine has an amazing smoothness and calmness that stretches the length of the palate, surrounded with textured fruit and mineral elements. We have been playing with the fruit from these vineyards for more than 8 years, fine tuning the style of wine that these vineyards are producing. What a result once it all came together. The fruit is hand-picked then whole-bunch pressed in the winery. All the solids are collected and chilled before being put to barrel (35% new French oak). A natural fermentation will occur at cool temperatures over the next one to two months, and then a small amount of stirring helps start malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked, fined and lightly filtered before bottling 11 months after picking. A wine with great fruit presence and varietal character at the front of the palate, the power of this site then takes over and it finishes with a very assertive line of acidity. We love everything about this 2018 Chardonnay. It is a vintage of great balance and completeness. As our greatest expression of Chardonnay, this wine has very quickly commanded a strong following around the world. Nick Farr The Farr estate is located in the Moorabool Valley between Geelong and Ballarat, 100km southwest of Melbourne. Grape growing in this region dates back more than 200 years, with Swiss settlers planting Victorias first vineyards here in the early 1800s. The rich volcanic soil and continental climate at our estate produces premium fruit with a flavour, bouquet and colour that is unique to our surrounding area. Gary and Robyn Farr purchased the original property in 1994 and the second section in 1998this latter had been untouched for almost 40 years and consisted of dense boxthorn and noxious weeds. The final piece of the puzzle, which links the two blocks of land, was purchased by Nick and Cassie Farr in 2011, making a total of 130 acresof which 36 acres are under vine and the remainder is maintained as grazing and cropping for cattle and horses. With a mixture of different clones and rootstocks, the grape varieties grown here are viognier, chardonnay, pinot noir, gamay and shiraz.
