Leeuwin Estate Art Chardonnay 2022
Our Verdict
An Australian legend. Refined over the past decade under the stewardship of Winemaker Tim Lovett, the Leeuwin Chardonnay has always been a wine to covet and cellar, and today its more elegant, pared back profile will give it extra legs. It straddles the sumptuousness of Margaret River Chardonnay and the reticence of contemporary production.
"If you were sitting quietly in a corner, contemplating the vicissitudes of life, and a glass of this exceptional chardonnay came your way, well, all would be very well indeed. And you’d perk up. It’s a wine that tends to be scintillating in youth, driven by all manner of citrus flavours – lemon, pink grapefruit with a dash of lime but also a mille-feuille of leesy lusciousness, oak spices and a moreish savouriness. It seems powerful and explosive with its acidity, drive and energy yet manages to remain classy and complex." 97 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
"Another exceptional release for this famed Australian chardonnay. Highly strung and tightly wound with mineral-edged aromas of lemon peel, crushed stones and sea spray as well as grapefruit, struck match and white orchard fruit. The palate is still reserved and quiet—remarkable, considering the 11 months in barrel with biweekly lees-stirring. A wine that always needs time but consistently presents as flashy yet vertical. Excellent." 97 Points - James Suckling
