Pale gold in colour, this Chilean Chardonnay combines aromas of ripe pineapple and peaches, complemented by fresh citrus and tropical fruit flavours on the palate.

The Colombard and Chardonnay grapes are just made for each other. Together they create this very refreshing white wine with lively citrus fruit characteristics and crisp, fresh acidity.

Viña Arroba, meaning “enchanted vineyard” is a captivating wine from Spain’s sun-drenched vineyards. This crisp and refreshing white wine has flavours of stone and tropical fruit and ripe apple. A lovely match to grilled fish, creamy pasta and risotto.

A great entry level wine from the de Bortoli family, with whom we have been working since 1994. Very pleasant Chardonnay. Cream, butter, apricot. Gentle and mild. Low acidity

From an exceptional south-facing single vineyard set high on the North Downs. Without question the best still English wine I have tasted. It’s mouth-fillingly fine with rounded, supple peach-like fruit and an ever so slightly toasty, vanilla finish thanks to nine months in French oak. If you like serious white Burgundy or Chablis, you’ll love this.

Chateau Montelena’s Napa Chardonnay showed that the new world could create classically balanced and complex wines in its own voice, and that from the right sites and with perseverance, the results could equal anything made the world over. Through fads and trends, Montelena has never changed in its philosophy of bringing the sunshine of California in a style that is structured, balanced and age worthy. In 1976, in what is now memorialized as “The Judgment of Paris”, Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay was the top-ranking wine against four white Burgundies and five other California Chardonnays in a blind tasting with a who’s-who of the French food and wine industry judging. And as they say, the rest is history. The wine opens with fresh peach, apricot, and honeydew amidst citrus blossom and rose water. The diversity of aromas in this vintage is astounding as the floral characteristics begin to take center stage with time in the glass along with ample fresh pear and cinnamon. The palate is lush viscous, and driven by lemon curd, the palate leans toward creaminess but with enough bright acid, green apple, and toast to bring balance and finesse. The ripeness of the vintage drives the mouthfeel as the flavors exude freshness and vibrancy, a unique combination. The finish is concentrated and persistent, again stone fruit appear, albeit in candied form, along with a hint of white pepper and plenty of orange zest.

A lovely ripe and tropical nose with apricots and ginger, allspice, cashews and toast coming through. The medium-bodied palate displays lovely harmony and has honeysuckle coming through with some minerality and a fresh citrus lift in the finish.

(2019 vintage) Decanter White Wine of 2020 with a whopping 96 points "Caramel and mocha notes on nose. Creamy with elegant balance between oak, fruit and acidity. Very typical Margaret River fruit with lovely lifted lemon, slightly honeyed spicy notes on palate. "

This is a pale yellow wine with golden highlights. It offers aromas of tropical fruits surrounded by gentle wood notes. It is fresh and rounded in the mouth, with great intensity; the fruit flavours found in the nose mingle with exquisite touches of vanilla and caramel.

Chateau Montelena 2012 92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Rather Chablis-like aromas of apple and resin, plus a hint of honey. Sweet and ripe in the nature of the vintage, offering a touch of creaminess to the flavours of fresh peach, apple, herbs and spices. Shows a broad spectrum of ripeness without any obvious extremes. A very successful vintage for this wine.

"The 2017 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard comes from a Grand Cru site in the Santa Maria Valley and was fermented and aged 18 months in 50% new French oak. This Burgundian beauty gives up lots of caramelized citrus, toasted bread, and spice-driven aromatics and shows medium-bodied richness on the palate, with bright acidity and some classic Santa Maria salinity and seaside-like nuances. You can drink bottles today, yet they'll also keep for over a decade." Jeb Dunnock 94pts

A lovely ripe and tropical nose with apricots and ginger, allspice, cashews and toast coming through. The medium-bodied palate displays lovely harmony and has honeysuckle coming through with some minerality and a fresh citrus lift in the finish.

Parker 92 "offers loads of floral perfume on the nose, with touches of baker's yeast beeswax and apricots. The medium-bodied palate is silky, fresh and expansive, with loads of honeyed fruits and a very long, layered finish."

The cool and foggy Carneros region is known for producing grapes with a natural balance of acidity and ripeness. The fruit was hand-picked on a cool night to ensure it reached the winery in pristine condition. This elegantly balanced, medium-bodied wine is half barrel fermented and aged sur-lie. The wine displays inviting notes of tropical fruit and citrus blossom on the nose that gives way to peach and pear flavors on the palette.

V attractive aromas. Toasty but not excessive. Elegant on the palate. Precise stone fruit. Restraint of alcohol. Chiselled minerality. Touch of coconut on the finish. Tim Atkin 2020, 93 pts – “Planted back in 1988, Chardonnay remains the only white grape on Waterford's estate on the Helderberg. Showing some of the creaminess and breadth of the warmer 2018 vintage, but this subtly wooded number has lovely underlying minerality and citrus peel freshness. 2021-25”

Long-established star winery of Santa Barbara. Creamy vanilla, rich but all in balance. Impressive. Santa Barbara County Chardonnay is a beautiful example of the Au Bon Climat style. The flinty, stony aromas stand out while in the background is a hard spice note from “sur lie” barrel aging. There are notes of lemon-lime and soft vanilla.

Quite a stunner. Lemon, sweetcorn, pear, grapefruit, greengage, honeysuckle, fresh flowers all bursting out. Balanced acidity, oak, and freshness, the full package, then a lean spicy finish. Totally delicious.

Cool climate coastal wines. This is a delightful Chardonnay packed with tropical fruit, but with a pleasing weight to it thanks to 4 months on lees.

Matthew Jukes,MatthewJukes.com, 5th February 2021 "Of course one has to be prepared for a full-framed style when dealing with Californian Chardonnay, so I was impressed to see that under the expressive, cool-climate, Russian River-influenced fruit there is a beating heart of refreshing acidity which electrifies this dynamic wine. Made from a blend of fruit from three vineyards, each with their specific microclimates, this is a seriously fascinating new release and I was fully prepared for a fifty-pound price tag attached to this terrific flavour. So, if you are searching for a top-flight Californian Chardonnay which doesn`t cost the earth then here it is and if anyone puts you on the spot, I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about!"

Avni means ‘stone’ or ‘rock’ and refers to the volcanic geology of the Willamette Valley with its shallow red soils and basalt rocks. This Chardonnay is a beautiful reflection of this terroir with a nose that is astonishingly pure and mineral, all riverbed stones with fresh water rushing over. A fine seam of lemon runs right through the centre of these aromas. It is poised and just lovely. The palate is very much a continuation of the nose, that fine lemon backbone weaving freshness into the wine. A hint of fleshy, white stone fruit comes through but there is quite a lot of crisp red apple too in this wine’s refreshingly moreish character. The stone fruit fleshiness builds with every taste whilst a peach kernel character keeps it focused. There is a lovely fluidity of texture on the palate and that purity continues. This is a balletic, poised, dancing style of Chardonnay, not heavy or oaky at all; it is completely harmonious and absolutely delicious.

Always a charmer (and award-winner). Has shot to brilliance recently, in an interesting direction: so much 'terroir', smells like posh Chablis with seashell and wet stone, then opens out with Muersault-like punch plus a chalky-saline grip. Faultess.

The Bellang family have been making wine in Burgundy for generations, but it’s only since son Christophe took over in the 90s that their reputation has soared, his Meursaults are excellent without the huge price tag that many have. Very nicely balanced fresh chardonnay flavours, ranging from zingy citrus and apple, through peach, to a little sweet mango and fresh guava. Gentle, restrained oak, which adds a bit of vanilla and butterscotch to the creamy body without overpowering.

Bright and fruity Chardonnay from a switched on producer, making flavourful wines for instant enjoyment at a great price.Really great value. White peach, overtly fruity, nice balancing acidity with a touch of residualm sugar.

Jancisrobinson.com previous vintage 17/20 "Lovely smoky nose... Bags of intense, rich citrus fruit, so pure and deep. Tastes amazing with sushi and soy sauce, brings out the savoury side of the wine, and the delicious mealy, creamy texture"

A single-vineyard wine made from oldest vines, Medium to full-bodied, taut and restrained on the palate, there is nicely balanced acidity and a lovely silky texture to lend elegance to the long, mineral finish.

Citrus and stone fruit steal the show with the subtlest of oak spice adding complexity. Think Chablis-like flintiness but with a tantalising hint of New World exoticism. We are deep within crystalline-loveliness territory with Tom's Red Claw Chardonnay. Think crispness and purity. unalloyed, palate-enlivening, gastronomic joy. It is, indubitably, a winner.

Deliciously rounded wine with a crisp and clean finish balanced nicely by gentle acidity.

This Meursault comes entirely from Bouchard's 8.6 ha of vines at the highest elevation in the north of the Meursault appellation. I found all the 2018 Meursaults from Bouchard (and they make 8 different ones!) absolutely delicious, with a polish and finesse tot the intense fruit concentration. Roasted nuts (almond, hazelnut) on the nose, in the mouth it is soft, full, round and fleshy, powerful. Expresses richness and fullness without the slightest heaviness. Serve with fish, white meat, goat's cheese.

This excellent white Burgundy comes from the intermediate clay/limestone slopes in the commune of Montagny. Very complex aromas on the nose, with successive fruity, floral and mineral hints, with particular menthol and lemon overtones. A full-bodied and rich wine with amazing finesse and delicate aromas.

First-rate, small, 2-young--brother organic operation turning out expressive, stylish delicious wines of serious stature and big charachter, a must-try. RobertParker.com "Bursting with aromas of pears, honeycomb and orange oil, the 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Terres de Vergisson is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a textural attack, ripe but succulent acids and a broad finish. This is a round, charming Pouilly-Fuissé that will drink well young."

'Le Clos de Grand-Père' namesake is the one-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines that once belonged to the Bret Brothers Grandfather. This Chardonnay is a deep gold colour that lures you into a pear and vanilla treat. It is lush with aromas and flavours of tropical fruits and a glorious crunch of acidity followed by a very long finish. The vines here are grown in clay with rocky-hard limestone terroir on the lower slopes of Pouilly-Vinzelles. The grapes are hand-harvested, and soft whole bunch pressed, then fermented with natural yeast in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for 11 months in old oak; the youngest barrels are ten years old.

The Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation contrôlée has only 50 ha under vines (123 acres) in comparison to neighbouring POUILLY-FUISSÉ’s 750 ha (1850 acres). It goes without saying that this great white Burgundy wine is a full expression of a mature Chardonnay from Southern Mâconnais. Our wine is a blend of our « young vines » (23 to 48 years old) in the « Les Quarts », simply rechristened as a village AOC Pouilly-Vinzelles La Soufrandière. They are all facing south-east, in the middle part of the slope of clay and limestone. The soils are ploughed and vineyard work is carried out by hand to avoid tamping down the soil. The soil is really alive without any additives. The word « Terroir » really makes sense! The expression of fruit is seductive, full of charm.

"Toasty, broad, and fleshy as is the style. Rather sumptuous, oak and toast but great mineral undertow throughout. Long and polished. Some tropical, even a slight green mango on the finish. Good." AA, Feb 2021

Reliable, good value classic Meursault from very old vines. Jancisrobinson.com 16.5/20 "Open cedary-citrus nose. Creamy and bright... salty freshness"

Outstanding Santenay Blanc from the growers with the oldest vines in the appellation. Wonderful to have aged white Burgundy on our shelves.

St Aubin has got to be one of the best value wines in Burgundy. This is a full-bodied, generous and precise wine. Easily accessible, it is the perfect accompaniment for aperitifs or a simple cooked meat (charcuterie), poultry or fish dishes.

"Super aromas. Creamy and toasty oak at first, underlayed by citrus and jasmine. Fresh acid, creamy lactic flavours, fab fruit" AA, Feb 2021
