Dry Creek Valley is one of California’s most storied regions—home to legendary names and a viticultural history that rivals anything in the Golden State. But despite its gloried history, or perhaps because of it, exceptional wineries like Michel-Schlumberger hide in plain sight: They’re no longer the hip, new, sexy thing that attracts attention, but nevertheless…
Hyde Vineyards proudly proclaims itself the “King of Carneros”—and they can back it up. It’s one of the oldest and most important vineyards in the windy hills between Napa and Sonoma, where fog and cool breezes allow for long hang times and rich, vibrant fruit. It’s a site that has earned its status as California…
When we visited Oregon’s Willamette Valley in January, one topic was on the mind of every winemaker and sommelier we met: CHARDONNAY. Luisa Ponzi’s 2019 Laurelwood District Chardonnay shows exactly why many wine lovers, critics, somms, and winemakers are even more pumped about Willamette Valley Chardonnay than they are about the region’s celebrated Pinot Noirs. …
Argentina’s Catena Zapata is an icon. José “Pepe” Galante made it one. As their chief winemaker for over three decades, Galante made Catena Zapata’s high-altitude Chardonnay their world-class calling card for white wines. He also earned a spot in the pantheon: Master of Wine Tim Atkin has called him a “winemaking legend,” while Paul Hobbs…
The call came in from one of our members—but it wasn’t the sort of call we usually expect. It wasn’t a customer service request, but a shot at first access to ten gorgeous barrels of single-vineyard Chardonnay—at an exclusive discount. See, the vintners at Ragtag Wine Co. are loyal Wine Access members (and buyers), and…
Joe Nielsen knows a thing or two about making top-tier wines. A true wunderkind, he was named winemaker for Donelan wines before his 30th birthday—and proceeded to earn a 99- and 98-point score from the Wine Advocate in his very first vintage in charge. At Donelan, Joe made $100+ wines aimed squarely at the most…
Koerner Rombauer was one of the legends of the Napa wine trade—a larger-than-life figure famed for his generosity and charisma, and a man who simply knew great wine. Koerner was a friend to us dating back to our early days in the business, and we were extremely honored to work with the Rombauer estate this…
Perched high up on Spring Mountain, Smith-Madrone practically defines “classic Napa.” The conditions on their high-altitude property are one of a kind. The vines, which were first planted in the early 1970s and are completely dry-farmed—a real rarity in Napa Valley—sink deep into the red volcanic soils, where they struggle in search of water and…
We sell a lot of Chardonnay here at Wine Access, from case-buy offers perfect for everyday sipping to cellar-worthy collectibles that can evolve for decades. Which makes it that much more remarkable that the Talley estate-grown Chardonnay remains the #1 rated under-$30 Chard in Wine Access history. That outstanding quality for the price is why…
If you see a Chardonnay from Talley, grab it. That advice has held strong since this pioneer began making wines in the 1980s—but it’s acquired a special urgency for the 2019s, which critics hailed as some of Talley’s best ever. “It has been a no-brainer to count Talley as one of the New World’s top…
Margaret River is ground zero for Australia’s great Chardonnay, and Vasse Felix’s Filius may be the region’s best value—which is why the last vintages have been so rapturously received by our members. The 2019 lightning in a bottle, with sunny richness allied to a laser-beam of acidity that’s a trademark of the Vasse Felix New-meets-Old World style….
Courtney Benham wines have become some of our members’ favorites because they deliver exceptional value from Napa—one of the hardest regions in the world in which to find bona fide bargains. Built on the veteran winemaking of Vineyard 29 ace Keith Emerson, and aged in a combination of oak and stainless steel, Benham’s 2020 Chardonnay captures…
When the call came in the spring of 2020, Chris Upchurch couldn’t say yes fast enough. He’d done a lot of things in his career at the helm of DeLille Cellars, but he’d never had the chance to make Oregon Chardonnay special enough to carry the DeLille name. DeLille’s been called “the Lafite Rothschild of…
The 2020 Domaine de Baronarques Blanc is a succulent Chardonnay that—for its price—gives Burgundy a run for its money. That’s why it’s a wine that both the Prince of Monaco and Restaurant Jean-Georges have been proud to pour. Jeb Dunnuck called it a “seriously good white” in his 94-point review. When Thomas Jefferson imported bottles…
“Meursault, right?” That was the first thing we said after sampling the paper-bag-wrapped Domaine Hubert Bouzereau-Gruère Bourgogne. We were confident: There’s a lot of blind tasting expertise around our table. But when it was revealed, the bottle in question wore a humble Bourgogne label…and had a price nowhere near that of Meursault! We had to…
Raoul Gautherin’s spellbinding, extraordinarily refined Vieilles Vignes is a picture of Chardonnay purity from one of Burgundy’s greatest vintages of all time—a season that Wine Advocate rated 97 points, calling it “a great success for Chablis” and “the finest Chablis vintage since 2017.” The 2020 is a selection from their oldest vines, all over the…
Despite the fame the town of Chardonnay has achieved through its most famous creation, very few wine lovers have ever had the chance to try a bottle of Chardonnay from Chardonnay—which is a shame. But here’s what we love about that: Despite the fame of the name, the village’s off-the-beaten-path status means there are some…
It’s a memory that pops up in our white-wine daydreams: We’re sitting at a beloved San Francisco brasserie, our table piled high with an ice-mounded plate of oysters, spiced and fried chickpeas, and an array of country pâtés and charcuterie. Swirling in our glasses was one of the few wines that could tie it all…
Wine Enthusiast rated over 5,000 wines from the 2020 vintage. Only five Chardonnays made the cut for their Top 100 Best Buys. Christophe Rochet’s 2020 Doudet-Naudin Chardonnay Vin de France not only made the cut, but got singled out in a feature article: “The 13 Best French Wines for $15 or Less.” The firm of…
Since coming to California, Stéphane Vivier has crafted some of the most collectible Burgundian wines made in California. His Vivier wines can be found at MICHELIN three-star The French Laundry—and his Chardonnay is being poured by the glass at Napa’s famed La Toque as we speak! Vivier’s Burgundian-style wines can cost a mint, which is…
