Chardonnay Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: One of Margaret River's (and Australia's) iconic Chardonnays, Leeuwin's 2014 Art Series Chardonnay continues that proud tradition. Never shy on toasty, nutty oak or bold fruit, the 2014 features both seamlessly woven...

Vinous, 95 points: The 2016 Chardonnay is fabulous. A vivid, textured wine, the 2016 possesses remarkable finesse and intensity in all of its dimensions. Lemon oil and white flowers are amped up by the natural intensity of these old vines...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard has expressive pink grapefruit, warm peaches and brioche notes with hints of praline and ginger. Medium-bodied with great richness and depth in the mouth, it has a lovely creamy texture...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: New management, farming and winemaking practices at this producer, including a focus on smaller production, are remarkably on display in this delicious white. Golden pear and crunchy apple provide an unctuous...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This is a perennially impressive wine, floral in a heady perfume of white roses. Fresh and fleshy, the expansive palate offers concentrated flavors of kiwi and pineapple. The wine was largely fermented in oak, then aged...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard shows the fatness and succulence this vintage seems to have produced routinely at top terroirs. Terrific honeysuckle, pineapple, peach and caramelized citrus are all present in this...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: This has plenty of ripe rich fruit with an array of lime curd, peaches, apricots and mangoes. The palate is packed with flesh and very succulent smooth and creamy peaches and apricots. A lot to like here. Drink on release.

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: From blocks of old Wente vines planted in the 1970s, this producer and site continue to find beautiful synergy together. This wine shows high-toned floral notes around full-bodied richness and flavors of crème brûlée and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The voluminous yet weightless 2016 Hunting Hill Chardonnay continues this bottling's successful run of vintages. Hints of roasted cashew accent tropical fruit, but thanks to a zesty line of citrusy acids, the wine powers...

MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: Single vineyard wine. Quite fleshy with tree fruit, peach, nectarine and yellow-fleshed plum flavours, together with a subtle seasoning of nutty lees and spicy oak character. An initial sense of fruit opulence leads to a...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: Tasted out of bottle, the classic 2016 Chardonnay was barrel fermented and aged all in new oak. It offers a killer bouquet of caramelized orchard fruits, hints of pineapple, spice, brioche and white flowers. Possessing...

Decanter, 91 points: This is one of the most attractive Chablis wines on the market. The Tête d’Or comes from selected parcels advantageously sited near to premier and grand cru sites, given just a whisper of oak. Fresh, light and flowery...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Old Guard is the most relaxed and open of these wines. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes are front and center, but it is the wine's crystalline purity and overall finesse that stand out most. In...

Decanter, 95 points: It was a great pleasure to visit Rajat Parr in Santa Barbara at the beginning of this year and to see some of the extreme sites his team are farming. Since 2011, Raj and his winemaker Sashi Moorman have been producing...
