Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Alain Chavy 2022
The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny for nearly two centuries, but the modern story kicked off in 1976 when Gérard Chavy decided to stop selling grapes to négociants and started bottling wine under his own name. In 2003, Gérard’s sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, split the estate to follow their own paths. Alain now runs a 7-hectare domaine, with parcels in some of Puligny-Montrachet’s top Premier Cru vineyards. Known for his understated winemaking style, Alain focuses on purity and precision, letting the character of each site take centre stage. His wines are all about freshness, clarity, and tension—beautiful expressions of Puligny’s elegance.
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.
