Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Alain Chavy 2019
Alain Chavy's wines are celebrated for their remarkable freshness, precision, and tension, embodying the essence of Puligny with elegance and finesse. Today, Domaine Alain Chavy is regarded as a gem at the heart of this iconic appellation. The Chavy family has deep roots in Puligny, dating back nearly 200 years, but the modern chapter began in 1976 when Gérard Chavy took a bold step by ceasing to sell his grapes to négociants and instead bottling wine under his own label. In 2003, Gérard’s sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, amicably divided the estate to pursue their own visions, each establishing a domaine. Alain Chavy now stewards 7 hectares, including some of Puligny-Montrachet’s most prestigious Premier Crus. Renowned for his restrained winemaking style, Alain prioritises purity of fruit and a minimalist approach, allowing the terroir to shine.
Yarra Yering, Chardonnay 2021
Est. delivery in August, 2026 Yarra Yering is one of those names that Australians say with a quiet reverence. Founded by the late, great Bailey Carrodus in 1969, the estate was a pioneer of cool-climate viticulture in the Yarra Valley at a time when the idea of world-class Chardonnay from Victoria was, to put it kindly, ambitious. The 2021 Chardonnay comes from old, low-yielding vines on the estate's distinctive red volcanic soils, handled with the same restrained intelligence that defines everything made here. Partial barrel fermentation, careful use of oak, and a winemaking philosophy that trusts the vineyard over the winery. The result is a Chardonnay that feels more Burgundian in spirit than antipodean in ambition: white peach, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut framed by a fine, saline tension that keeps everything taut and focused. There is genuine depth here, but it never feels heavy.
