The village of Monthelie lies between Meursault and Volnay, and shares many similar characteristics with them. This is another enchanting Chardonnay from PCYM - filled with floral and lemony aromas, apples and a hit of nuttiness too. The bright acidity keeps it fresh and lively, yet walks the line of balance with effortless ease.

Product Description: A sun-drenched vintage brings added generosity to this premier cru classic. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s 2022 Saint Aubin 1er Cru ‘La Chateniere’ offers a captivating balance between the domaine’s trademark mineral drive and the natural opulence of a warmer growing season. Harvested from a steep, south-facing 0.86-hectare site planted in 1970 and 1995, this is consistently the weightiest and most textural of Colin-Morey’s Saint-Aubin releases. In 2022, the site’s solar exposure and the vintage’s ripeness combine to give a wine of generous depth and sleek energy. There’s a touch of reductive tension up front—classic PYCM—before it unfurls into lemon-lime brightness, fleshy stone fruit, and a long, chalk-lined finish. As always, production is extremely limited. Drink 2027–2032. Chardonnay. A structured white Burgundy built to evolve. Serve with roast spatchcock, aged goat cheese, or seared scallops. Tasting Notes NOSE – Subtle reduction, citrus lift Hints of struck match, lemon zest, and flinty brightness. PALATE – Layered and generous Supple and textural with ripe lime, white peach, and saline detail. FINISH – Long and composed Balanced, mineral finish with persistent citrus length. Reviews & Accolades A lovely lively colour, lemon and lime, with something of a quality reduction on the nose... extremely classy, very PYCM in style with an extra generosity from this sunny site in a sunny vintage. – Jasper Morris M.W., Inside Burgundy, (90–93) (October 2023)

This emblematic domain in Saint-Aubin is also a major producer in the Côte d’Or, and other quality areas of Burgundy. Their expertise has been handed down from father to son since the 19th century, along with groundbreaking work to help the appellation Saint-Aubin to shine. Domaine Roux was started in 1885 with a plot of vines bought by Louis Roux in the village of Saint-Aubin. His grandson Marcel Roux, born in 1927, played a pivotal role in the development of the domain, extending the holdings to over 25 hectares in Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault and Santenay. He was a leading light in establishing the reputation and value of the Saint-Aubin appellation around the world. The Saint-Aubin appellation extends over an altitude vineyard that produces white wines of good quality, and whose reputation continues to grow. Its area is 1.6 square kilometres, on an area set back from those of Puligny and Chassagne. The wine landscape is very hilly and is therefore home to several climates with very variable exposures and soils. Local appellations and wines classified in Premier Cru are spread over four zones. This Saint-Aubin has a beautiful coloration with golden highlights. When young, it combines aromas of white flowers, flint, green almond, and orange-flower. Richer fragrances come with age: beeswax and honey, marzipan, ambergris, and cinnamon. This is a firm and flattering wine - it becomes fleshier and fuller with time. This is a wine with real breeding.

Is this Australia's best Chardonnay? If not then it shares the rarified air reserved for only the finest examples. Rich yet restrained, with mineral notes, cashew and almond meal, amazing fruit complexity and wonderful length...why not try the benchmark?

Domaine de Chevalier uses traditional methods when making their flavoursome white blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Fermentation occurs in oak casks and is then aged for 18th in oak, some of which is new. This practice was abandoned by many in Graves, only to be (rightfully) regenerated to allow wines of substance and character to be produced once again. Chevalier's Blanc is a wine that is taut and restrained that opens up over a six to eight year period to reveal a wine of supreme delicacy.

This Katherines Paddock Chardonnay combines the richness, drive and classicism of one clone with the fine-boned flinty structure and chalky notes of the other. It is stylish with the modern expression of Australian style Chardonnay: tense, taut and sulphidic. It reclaims the middle ground where body, flavour and palate weight co-exist with structure, texture and restrained acidity. This single-vineyard Chardonnay has well integrated natural acidity with rich varietal expression.
