McHenry Hohnen, 'Laterite Hills', Chardonnay 2022
Price: 24,00€
DESCRIPTION
A great Margaret River Chardonnay from McHenry Hohnen, a pioneer of organic and biodynamic winemaking in Australia.
Grown on the red soils of Laterite Hills, this wine reveals vibrant minerality and remarkable precision. The 2022 vintage, marked by ideal ripeness and natural freshness, offers outstanding balance.
On the nose, citrus and white peach mingle with white flowers, lifted by delicate hints of toasted hazelnut and brioche. On the palate, a broad, elegant texture leads to a saline, radiant finish. Perfect with oysters, sea bass ceviche, herb-roasted chicken, or creamy cheeses like Chaource.
Celebrated by international critics (95+ points Robert Parker), this Chardonnay rivals some top Burgundy whites at a far more accessible price.

RéGION
Margaret River
Australie
Margaret River, au sud-ouest de l’Australie, est l’un des joyaux viticoles du pays. Réputée pour ses Chardonnays élégants aux notes intenses d’agrumes et ses Cabernets Sauvignon très raffinés, elle bénéficie d’un climat tempéré d’influence océanique, proche de celui de Bordeaux. Ce terroir unique donne naissance à des vins au style plus européen, alliant fraîcheur, précision et potentiel de garde.
Aujourd’hui, la région séduit aussi avec des assemblages expressifs et des cuvées confidentielles de grande précision.
Recommandé pour vous:
This is a wonderful Chardonnay. Ripe citrus and subtle toast. Perfect with butter-poached fish!
