Margaret River, located in the southwest of Australia, is one of the country’s true wine gems. Renowned for its elegant Chardonnays with intense citrus notes and its highly refined Cabernet Sauvignons, the region enjoys a temperate ocean-influenced climate similar to that of Bordeaux. This unique terroir produces wines with a more European style, combining freshness, precision, and excellent ageing potential.
Today, the region also captivates with expressive blends and limited-production cuvées of remarkable finesse.
Chardonnay tendu, salin, raffiné. Apiary Block 2023 : pureté et élégance de Margaret River. 🍋🧂✨
Un Chardonnay australien au style bourguignon, beurré, avec une belle tension. Dégusté avec des coquilles Saint-Jacques, c’était top.
… dans l’univers des vins de ce super domaine australien ! Crème de citron, noisette, touche minérale… très chouette et la couleur jaune citron de la robe fait son petit effet !
Expressif et raffiné, avec des arômes de pêche blanche, poire, agrumes confits, accompagnés de notes de fleurs blanches, de noisette grillée et de vanille subtile. Une belle touche minérale (pierre à fusil) est présente.
This wine shines with citrus blossom, stone fruit, and saline minerality. The palate is tight and focused, offering creamy depth from wild fermentation and lees aging, but never losing its drive or purity. A sophisticated, modern Chardonnay.
Tried this on a recommendation and it blew me away. The texture is amazing—almost waxy and savory—but still super fresh. It’s complex without being heavy. Easily one of the most interesting Chardonnays I’ve had in a long time.
This is not your average Chardonnay! Loved the natural, unfiltered character—it’s vibrant, floral, and has this creamy-meets-mineral texture that’s addictive. Lemon zest and white peach just jump out of the glass. Totally delicious and worth every cent.

I love the lemony freshness of this Chardonnay, balanced by a lovely roundness. A very pleasant saline finish.
