Paddling for Waves of Minerality and Catching 97 Points In a recent lineup of several Chardonnays from Margaret River at Wine Access HQ, one of the standouts was this 2015 Wildberry Estate Reserve — earning a whopping 97-points from Australia’s leading wine critic James Halliday. Because the vineyards of Margaret River are planted just a…
The last WindRacer Chardonnay we offered sold out in short order—an outstanding, opulent Russian River Valley release for under $30 was easy math for our members. By 3 p.m., we were fresh out and directing buyers to like-minded bottles still in stock. That’s the reason we’ve been calling consistently ever since, to find out whether…
The Most Collectible Winery in Australia This 2015 Chardonnay exemplifies what Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate was talking about in describing Woodlands’ “small quantities of high quality wines, that sit amongst the best in the area.” To understand why, look no further than the stunning 2015 Chardonnay. Lavish stone fruit and grilled tropical fruit aromas, brioche,…
Top-Shelf White Burgundy Steal There’s Chablis, the standard-bearing Chardonnay wine from northern Burgundy, and then there’s exceptional Chablis. Today’s 2016 Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Vaucopins Premier Cru falls squarely in the latter camp because of its sacred terroir. Vaucopins ranks among the very best vineyards of Chablis, bearing a striking resemblance to the region’s Grands Crus,…
Burgundy Dynasty’s Family Secret Quality and longevity are synonymous with the Bichot name, and we don’t expect these bottles to last—so we’ll cut right to the chase: This little “Family Secret” is culled together from grape sources “around extremely well-located vineyards” on the outskirts of some pretty famous white Burgundy villages—St. Aubin, Meursault, and Puligny-Montrachet….
We’ve been fans of Amista’s singular wines since 2011, when Wine Access members snapped up our first release of Mike and Vicky Farrow’s golden Chardonnay. But small production and high demand from their rabid mailing list mean we rarely have the chance to share their tiny-production bottles. When we do, they disappear and elicit 5-star…

This 2016 Argot Mosaic Chardonnay out of Sonoma County comes from one of Wine Spectator’s October 2018Wineries to Watch. Argot founder and winemaker Justin Harmon is a rising star…
If you’re a lover of the big, powerful, citrus-kissed, sweet-oak-infused, full-bodied Chardonnays that Rombauer made famous—we’re with you. We get it. They’re delicious and satisfying. Now, combine all that opulence with the mouthwatering acid-cut of exceptional grapes from Santa Lucia Highlands and you’ve got this 2016 Bernardus Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands Rosella’s Vineyard. Winemaker Dean…

Lovers of round, elegant, and full-bodied California Chardonnay, this bottle is for you. Since Bernardus Winery opened the first tasting room in Carmel Valley…
We couldn’t wait to make this magic, golden-hued release from a Central Coast icon available to our members. From the first sip—thrilling with dense pineapple and bright grapefruit peel, fragrant with jasmine—it ticked every box for what we want in a top California Chardonnay, and at a seldom-seen bargain price. Vinous calls the 2016 Calera…
Nothing shows why we’re fans of winemaker Tyler Thomas better than the knockout 2016 Dierberg Chardonnay Dierberg Vineyard. Of the 81 Chardonnays from around the world that earned 94 points from Wine Enthusiast, Dierberg boasts the best price, and that’s at its $32 SRP. Today, we’ve got this top value—which stands with bold-face names like…
The Baron Takes on White Burgundy Limoux is one of the rare regions in the South of France best known for its white wines. The locals take fierce pride in their place in sparkling wine history, as they fermented bubbly in-bottle long before the Champenois (or at least they claim it!). Either way, the region…
Just Can’t Get Enough: Under-$20 White Burgundy Today’s under-$20 White Burgundy is hands-down one of our top-performers and favorite bargains of the year. The last three vintages have amassed 121 glowing 4- and 5-star reviews from Wine Access clients. The current release 2016 Domaine du Château de Pierreclos Mâcon-Pierreclos is perhaps the most zesty, mineral,…
Burgundy is a maze of appellations, sub-regions, and “Grand” and “Premier” Cru vineyards, but there’s one secret way to bypass the maps, experience Burgundy’s legendary terroir, and drink well without poring over textbooks: Follow the best producers. Winemaking families—like the Burrier craftsmen behind today’s gorgeous, pineapple-scented Chardonnay—know where the region’s famed limestone soils surface in…
For the past seven years, Dutton Estate’s creamy Chardonnays have been among the most popular and frequently requested California bottles we offer. The Kyndall’s Reserve is a golden centerpiece of that collection, a classic, sunshine-soaked, fog-cooled expression of Sonoma richness, offered at a price well below that of Dutton’s army of competitors. Producers like Kistler,…
A Benchmark for Classic California Wine In the span of a single generation, Sonoma’s Russian River Valley has transformed from a quiet, bucolic orchard community to Sonoma’s trendiest sub-zone, complete with glitzy tasting rooms and prices that rival Burgundy. But there’s one classic vineyard, the outlier amid the apple orchards, that’s grown but hasn’t changed:…
Chardonnay lovers, this rich, racy, French-oak-kissed rare gem is for you. Joining the ranks of Ramey, Kistler, Hyde de Villaine, and Patz & Hall, this 2016 Fait-Main Penhoet Chardonnay from Toyon Farm Vineyard is one of the best Napa Carneros Chardonnays you’ll buy this year. Here’s why. Winemaker Benoit Touquette has worked alongside John Kongsgaard,…
California Grand Cru vs. Burgundy Premier Cru You could spend $285 or more on a bottle of Comtes Lafon Meursault Premier Cru—and if you do, we hope you’ll invite us over for a taste. Alternatively, you could spend far less for several bottles of this 2016 Foxen Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyard, a site that…
Drinking like a spiritual successor to Rombauer, Benovia, and Far Niente, the 2016 Gold Crush Chardonnay cracks the code of luscious, oak-kissed California Chardonnay—and it transformed us into instant fans. Swaggering and rich, loaded with poached pear, vanilla bean, and mandarin orange, it’s a seductive modern iteration of the pioneering West Coast style that made…
The name Chateau Montelena has been gilded ever since their 1973 Chardonnay took home the top prize at the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting. Mike Grgich—who had emigrated from Croatia and worked under André Tchelistcheff and Robert Mondavi—was the winemaker behind that Chardonnay. Needless to say, its performance made him a star. Mike’s own Grgich…
