Fromm, Clayvin Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
Based in the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, Fromm was established in the 90s, undergoing organic conversion in 2005, and has rapidly developed a cult reputation for its range of single vineyard reds & whites. Winemaking is Burgundian, with little more than 3,000 cases produced annually. The vineyards are farmed by hand, grapes hand-picked, whilst in the winery they use wild yeasts, aging in Burgundian oak barrels, bottling with no fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. The resultant wines combine all the elegance, structure and suaveness of Burgundy yet with that signature plushness of NZ fruit, making them very attractive indeed. The Chardonnay is a stunner, with impressive power and depth, yet there is coolness and restraint here too.
Louis Jadot Ladoix Le Clou d'Orge Blanc 2023
Louis Jadot Ladoix Le Clou d'Orge is a refined village-level Chardonnay from the northern edge of the Côte de Beaune, crafted by Famille Gagey of Maison Louis Jadot. The vineyard lies just north-east of Aloxe-Corton at the foot of the famed Corton hill, where gentle slopes, altitudes between 220 and 360 metres, and east to south-east exposure create ideal conditions for producing elegant, mineral-driven white Burgundy. Why You'll Love It This is village-level white Burgundy with real finesse refined, mineral-driven, and beautifully crafted by prestigious Maison Louis Jadot. Famille Gagey has cultivated this vineyard since 2007, and the vines are now around twenty years old, producing fruit of increasing depth and character. The soils are composed of clay and marls with a shallow, stony profile that encourages naturally low yields and fine concentration. Hand-harvested grapes are fermented in oak barrels from CADUS cooperage (one-third new) and matured for approximately 15 months on fine lees, gaining exceptional texture and complexity.
