In October 2022, Decanter convened a three-judge panel to assess a bevy of Chardonnays from Australia’s Margaret River. It was no wonder why: this “world class cool-climate region,” as Vinous called it, has made its name on wines like Leeuwin Estate’s revered Art Series—bottles that challenge the best in the world. The judges tasted over…
The 2021 Chev. Russian River Valley Chardonnay takes the winemaking style that made Michael Browne famous—full throttle, yet balanced and nuanced—and applies them to three of the Russian River’s top vineyard sites. It’s just the fourth vintage of this daring project, and it’s usually sold exclusively to his mailing list and select top restaurants across…
It may be Western Australia’s best-kept secret. “A high-octane example of…full-throttle power” (Wine Advocate), the spellbindingly lush 1000 Crowns Chardonnay is considered by Aussies to be a Margaret River benchmark, recently winning the top prize in one of critic James Halliday’s regional Chardonnay Challenges. For years, it’s also been impossible to find or buy outside…
We turned onto the unpaved stretch of 1 Rue de Fleys looking for our B&B. The last thing we expected to find was a high-toned, old-vine marvel of northern white Burgundy. The estate we had stumbled across, Vignobles Dampt Frères, possesses holdings in some of the region’s best vineyards, and their wines are poured at…
Nothing quickens the pulses of White Burgundy collectors quite like Coche-Dury. The iconic producer is practically synonymous with Meursault, and their bottlings are the measuring stick by which every other wine from the village—and indeed all white Burgundy—is judged. This is a truly moving bottle that honors the potential of the village the Coche calls…
From one of our favorite wineries in California—and one that Antonio Galloni called “one of the most fascinating wineries in the Central Coast”—this is Santa Barbara’s top Chardonnay of the vintage, with a score matching both Peter Michael’s $130+ Belle Côte and Aubert’s $190+ Park Avenue. Galloni called it “magnificent” and “one of the most…
The 2021 Far Mountain Myrna Chardonnay is a bottle that stands with Sonoma’s best—at a price that’s half of its peers. Sourced from old, dry-farmed vines at Bald Mountain, one of the highest vineyards in the area, it was one of just four Chardonnays to make Decanter’s list of “The Best Sonoma County Wines for…
There’s a simple reason that Grgich Hills Chardonnay causes waves of anticipation when we see it on our tasting table: There might be no wine more directly related to California’s single most famous Chard of all time. The winery’s namesake, Mike Grgich, crafted the Chateau Montelena bottling that took home the top prize in the…
It doesn’t get more Chablisienne than J. Moreau’s Gloire de Chablis. Made by one of Burgundy’s oldest and most revered names, the Gloire is the product of Moreau’s 200 years of winemaking wisdom and Chablis’ famed terroir. It’s packed with minerality, bright citrus, and green apples—and comes at a price that makes it one of…
Robin Akhurst can buy any Chardonnay grapes he wants in California. Before he worked with 100-point master Thomas Rivers Brown, he made wine at Chardonnay icon Domaine Leflaive. Today he’s the winemaking lead for a large collection of wineries like Clos Pegase and B.R. Cohn. The guy’s got the network, experience—and the checkbook—to have a…
Lingua Franca’s Bunker Hill stands with top examples of Chardonnay from anywhere in the world. The star of their lineup is 2021 Bunker Hill Chardonnay, an estate-grown stunner from a modern-classic vintage, grown on a cool, windy site. It boasts a stunning 98-point score from Jeb Dunnuck. When we visited the Lingua Franca winery a…
The late, beloved Louis-Fabrice Latour was a man with limitless access to the finest wines Burgundy has to offer. Between what he made at his family’s winery—the historic, lauded Louis Latour—and his connections in Beaune, he could choose to drink Grand Crus like Montrachet and Chambertin every night. But we weren’t surprised when he told…
Baseball superstition holds that it’s bad luck to talk about a pitcher when he’s in the middle of throwing a no-hitter. So we’ll say the next part very quietly: Martin Ray is setting a bar for value winemaking in California right now that’s practically unprecedented. Their 2021 Monterey-Sonoma Chardonnay is another fastball from this red-hot…
Born into a winemaking family that goes back five generations in Champagne, Luc was stirring barrel-fermented Chardonnay when he was just a schoolboy. During his graduate studies, he interned at the prestigious Chanson Père et Fils in Beaune, and upon graduation he was mentored by Jacques Boissenot. Love for his American sweetheart brought Luc to…
We never expected that we’d discover a new favorite Chardonnay at an Indian restaurant—but then again, New York City’s Junoon is hardly a typical Indian restaurant. Holder of a MICHELIN star for nearly a decade—and with “Best Of Award of Excellence” honors from Wine Spectator—Junoon’s cuisine and wine list have made it a must-stop for…
Oregon’s Rogue Valley—and specifically Parkhurst Wine Cellars Frink Vineyard Chardonnay—is a secret weapon for lovers of California wine looking for a deal. While it might share a state flag with the Willamette Valley, Rogue Valley is several hours south and much, much warmer. Here, the high-elevation Frink Vineyard’s steep slopes of volcanic soil luxuriate in…
We’re not sure we know a more over-performing Burgundy estate than Prosper Maufoux. Helmed by the legendary Nadine Gublin, the first woman to win the coveted Winemaker of the Year title from La Revue du Vin de France, they’ve turned out a string of incredible red Burgundy values that have thrilled our members—and have a…
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…
At this point, there’s no debate: Rhys Vineyards is one of the greatest Chardonnay producers on the globe. “With each passing vintage,” wrote Antonio Galloni of Vinous, “the wines continue to improve to the point where comparisons to the best estates in California are increasingly less relevant. Rhys is world class. It’s as simple as…
Vinous founder Antonio Galloni said it best: “With each passing vintage, the wines continue to improve to the point where comparisons to the best estates in California are increasingly less relevant. Rhys is world class. It’s as simple as that.” Michelin three-star SingleThread Farms currently carries 24 Rhys bottlings, as a testament to their excellence….
