Domaine Hubert Brochard, Sancerre Terroir De Silex Fontaine-Audon 2024
Hubert Brochard's Terroir de Silex is Sancerre doing what only Sancerre can: turning a single grape variety and a patch of flint-rich soil into something that feels almost elemental. The Fontaine-Audon lieu-dit sits on pure silex — that distinctive gunflint soil that gives Loire Sauvignon Blanc its famously mineral, almost smoky edge. The 2024 vintage brought freshness and precision across the appellation, and this wine has both in abundance: white stone fruit, crisp citrus, and a nervy, saline finish that makes you reach for the next sip. We find this is exactly the style to open over the next two to four years, when the primary fruit is vivid and that flint-struck character is at its most expressive. It's a textbook argument for why Sancerre still matters. Drink now until 2030.
Yarra Yering, Chardonnay, - Half 2021
Est. delivery in August, 2026 Yarra Yering is one of those names that demands a moment of respect. Founded by the late Dr Bailey Carrodus in 1969, it was among the first wineries to re-establish viticulture in the Yarra Valley, and it has never stopped making wines that feel genuinely sui generis. This Chardonnay is a half bottle, which means it will evolve a touch faster than its full-sized sibling — all the more reason to open it with purpose over a proper dinner rather than squirrel it away indefinitely. The 2021 vintage in the Yarra was cool and precise, which shows here in spades: white peach and grapefruit with struck flint and a savoury, toasted-nut character from well-integrated oak. The palate is taut and focused, with real drive from the acidity and a mineral persistence that lingers long after the glass is empty.
