Chardonnay

Chablis, France. "Here too there is an abundance of Chablis character present on the citrus and cool floral aromas that include notes of tidal pool, shellfish and algae. There is a bit more volume and concentration to the medium-bodied flavours that possess a refreshing salinity and driving minerality on the muscular, balanced and long finish. This won't win any awards for refinement but I really like the bold flavour authority..."

Chablis, France. The Chablis Forêts is a little richer and more powerful than the Montmains owing to the slightly warmer microclimate. At the same time, the heavy presence of limestone in these soils yields a wine with bright, saline-infused minerality and considerable steely tension...

Chablis, France.  An agreeably fresh and bright nose is composed of citrusy, saltwater, iodine and cool green apple scents. This is quite fine with good detail and plenty of minerality to the medium weight flavours that deliver excellent length if perhaps not quite the same depth as the Vaillons. That said, this is very pretty in its own right...

Chablis, France.  A notably floral nose enjoys excellent breadth with its nuances of citrus, algae, pear and ocean breeze. This is notably richer than the Séchets with more volume as well to the mineral-inflected flavours that terminate in a clean, dry and beautifully complex finale. This is really quite pretty and should drink well both young and with 5 to 7 years of age...

Chablis, France. This is riper still with notes of yellow orchard fruit, citrus blossom, ocean breeze and a hint of iodine. The attractively textured flavours possess both good energy and an appealing salinity before concluding in a finer but not nearly as long or complex finale. This is certainly good but the old vines Butteaux offers another dimension...

Chablis, France. A notably ripe yet cool array is composed of citrus, orange peel, sea breeze and floral scents. There is excellent cut and delineation to the mouth coating and terrifically intense middle weight plus flavours that possess an incredibly fine mouth feel on the almost pungently mineral-driven finish. This explosive effort will need a few years but the potential is clearly present. Worth considering...

Chablis, France. It reveals notes of white fruit such as peach, with a mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation complements this pure, rounded wine...

Chablis, France. Petit Chablis expresses citrus and floral notes reminiscent of hawthorn and vine flower. Pronounced liveliness in the mouth, with a chalky and saline finish...

Margaret River, Western Australia. Flavours and perfumes are reminiscent of crème brulee and candied citrus peel with a background of toasty oak. The palate is rich with a viscous creamy texture. A balanced wine expressing intensity and layered complexity promising further evolution over time...

Margaret River, Western Australia. Floris is a modern and engaging expression of our local clone into wine. This style is a coevolution of Modern Australian food and wine culture, which has great emphasis on balance, freshness and hedonistic pleasure. The sustainably farmed vineyard is in the cool southern end of Margaret River. Floris exhibits delicate textures and floral notes reminiscent  of white jasmine flowers. The palate reveals a delicate balance of bright fruit characters, mouth filling texture and precise minerality...
