Vasse Felix, Heytesbury, Chardonnay 2021
Price: 78,00€
DESCRIPTION
This is simply a great Australian Chardonnay. Sourced from the finest vineyard parcels of Vasse Felix, a pioneering estate in Margaret River since 1967, the Heytesbury Chardonnay 2021 is a monument of elegance and precision. Ranked among Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the World in 2022, it perfectly embodies the region’s pure, taut style.
On the nose, a rare complexity unfolds: flint, lemon zest, green tea, and sea herbs. The palate reveals beautifully controlled acidity, supporting a crystalline, textured, almost saline structure. The finish is long, with a subtle bitterness—a hallmark of great terroir-driven whites.
Serve this Margaret River Chardonnay well chilled. It’s ideal with briny seafood, grilled fish, aged cheese, or refined plant-based cuisine.
Delicious now, but also well worth cellaring for a few years.

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:
A structured Chardonnay with great aging. I loved its complexity. Perfect with mushroom risotto.
