Antinori
Pietrabianca is an elegant Chardonnay produced on the Bocca di Lupo estate in the Murgia area of Puglia. The distinctive characteristic of this area is its pietra, stone.Pietrabianca refers to the stones that rural farmers hit while ploughing the fields and once they were crushed and ground into the soil, helped enhance the aromas of the wines grown there. Rich, complex and at the same time fresh and pleasant, Pietrabianca shows that Apulia is a region of great white wines, too.

Shaw + Smith
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 Meursault-like punch plus a chalky-saline grip. Faultess.

Vincent Girardin
The Grands Vins produced by Maison Vincent Girardin are amongst the region's finest. The vineyard is located near the Saint Aubin village at the top of the Chevalier Montrachet and Le Montrachet Grands Cru vineyards, in the south of the Côte de Beaune. Vines are over 45 years of age, and the grapes are manually harvested then pressed using a pneumatic press for slow and gentle extraction of the juice before 15 months of ageing with natural yeasts. This is a wonderful wine of great poise and freshness with a long finish.

Vincent Girardin
The palate is opulent between tension and finesse whil leaving a fresh and mineral finish. Good and strong structure in mouth. Robert parker Notes : The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus is brilliant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids and a layered, textural mid-palate, it concludes with a saline finish.

Jasper Morris MW87-90/100 Also quite a pale colour. The bouquet is a little more pronounced in fresh raspberry fruit, pleasing rather than massive. Very stylish, with a good fruit acid balance. A fine and balanced Savigny without rusticity. Drink 2024 - 2028 Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (January 2023)

Domaine du Pélican
3 for the price of 2.
Not to detract from their authentic Jura heart, the two Pelican whites - Chardonnay and Savagnin - offer an instantly lovable journey into Jura style for those wary of oxidative surprises as both are made 'topped-up' rather than in oxidative style and with a clear salute to the heritage of their grand Burgundian owner. On the nose a Meursault-esque reductive whiff, ozone and saline, tempered tempting posh new oak; even before a sip these are out and proud posh wines. The Savagnin is wild, vegetal in a fine garden/herb garden sense, salty and zesty and oddly sweet mango and hot straw, almost Savennieres-like with its broad back, whack of acid and suave new-oak integration. Chardonnay smells like top end Bien Nacido but unfurls into Jura idiom with fine acidity, limpid lift, seashells and citrus. Both, quite frankly, nicely-priced for such a grand, fascinating and extraordinary wines. I'd 100% recommend both - try them together! Jancisrobinson.com 17/20

Chapel Down
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.

Domaine Christian Bergeret et Fille
Expressive nose - cream, lees, baked lemons. Layered, phenolic grip on the palate. Youthful, fruity, and yeasty with bright acidity and a juicy finish. This estate gets better and better and I was impressed by the relative value owner and winemaker Chlotilde still offers.

Bouchard Pere & Fils
This Meursault comes entirely from Bouchard's own 6.6 hectares of vines towards the north of the Meursault appellation. I found all the 2019 Meursaults from Bouchard (and they make 8 different ones!) absolutely delicious, with a polish and finesse to 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.

Flint Vineyards
Pithy lemon and white peach combined with vanilla pod and butterscotch. The palate has a fleshy texture, flavours of ripe apricot crumble, a hint of cinnamon. Leading to a toasty finish, underpinned by subtle woodsmoke and fresh acidity. Whole-bunch pressed and only the ‘heart’ of the free run used, the juice was then fermented in new French oak barrels. Following fermentation the wine was matured in barrel for 18 months, with around 50% seeing weekly bâtonnage. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in March 2024. Made from some of the best Chardonnay fruit we’ve ever seen, picked in 2022 by hand from Martin’s Lane in the Crouch Valley, Essex. It was a hot, dry year, so yields were low, but ripeness was exceptional.
