We continue our expensive obsession with Chardonnay, drinking and thinking about the best examples of this grape that we can find. Though we applaud the hyper-fine, flinty, and corditeladen styles that the best Australian wines exhibit, we also love the balanced intensity and power evident in the best of Burgundy. To this end, this wine is sourced from an exquisite vineyard pioneeringly planted in 1979 on the East Coast of Tasmania.
