Soil : Clay, chalk and marl
Site : In the heart of the Mâcon wine growing region, South of Burgundy. The two villages Viré and Clessé form a unique "terroir" on slopes facing South-East. In Viré, the soil is chalky with large layers of clay. In Clessé , the soil structure is slightly different with a combination of chalk and clay mixed with liasic marls combined with oyster- fossils which convey to the wine a specific minerality.This is one of the best white wines of the region combining suppleness and minerality.
The Vintage 2022 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on 13th September. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the white wines are well-balanced, precise and refreshing.
Tasting : Pale gold colour. Refreshing fragrances of white flowers mixed with white fruit and fresh muscat on a hint of wet stone. Well-balanced and lively. Very nice and refreshing finish.
Food pairing : Fresh and yet flavoursome Vietnamese chicken or fish dishes would work wonderfully, as would a range of fresh salads and even slightly creamy chicken pasta or tofu stir fry. You could even go for fish tacos or mild Mexican dishes (but chilli will overwhelm the flavours).
Pretty pale yellow colour with delicate green reflections. This wine shows an expressive nose with notes of white flowers, buttercream and apricots. With great freshness, the mouth opens up nicely, revealing seductive citrus aromas, well balanced with a good acidity. Its mineral purity is punctuated on the finish by a touch of delicate bitterness. A remarkably fresh and deep wine, with typical Rhone characteristics, great with Mediterranean food and rockfish.

Pale gold colour, floral fragrances with very fresh aromas of white-fleshed fruit and citrus and nice vanilla note. Complex and well-balanced, dense, precise texture with elegant oak note and a long, fresh finish. Pair with Foie gras, grilled fish, white meats and certain cheeses (Epoisses, Roquefort and Munster).
Offering a stunning bouquet of ripe cherry and strawberry fruits, it has classic Burgundian spice and dried flower aromatics, medium-bodied richness, moderate tannins, and a rounded, supple texture that offers nicely integrated acidity. It picks up more sappy, floral notes with time in the glass and is just an ethereal, elegant, complex Coteaux Champenois that will benefit from a year or two of bottle age and keep for a decade.

A wine that lends full expression to the Merlot variety. Fresh and elegant with sweet tannins. Deeply opaque, intense red color with a bright rim indicative of its good condition. Remarkably long finish with a lovely lift of acidity – a perfect balance between its fine tannic structure and an elegant acidity. Silky, with just a touch of sweetness and rather hedonistic, it has a long drawn out finish.

This superbly elegant and stylish blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco comes from one of Tuscany’s greatest white-wine growing areas, grown in vineyards at elevations as high as 700 metres.
To the nose it is intensely flowery with frangipani and jasmine aromas mixed with the fruity notes of apricot and quince. In the glass, the wine also releases exotic scents of tropical fruit and fresh cardamom. When tasted, Pomino Bianco is flavourful and lively, with a balanced structure and persistent finish with a slight aftertaste of ripe raspberries.

A classic, well-balanced Franciacorta, pleasantly fresh and crisp. Perfect for any occasion. This beautiful sparkling wine shows a unique aromatic profile with spicy notes of spearmint and fresh oregano leaf. Beyond those vertical aromas are heavier tones of stone fruit, honeydew melon and blanched almond. Ideal aperitif and its elegant texture pairs well with an assortment of seafood, delicate charcuterie, soft cheese and hors d’oeuvres

Brilliant peach skin. Red berries and pit fruits on the nose, and a floral nuance in the background. Silky and open-knit, showing good depth as well as energy to the red currant and nectarine flavors, which pick up a refreshingly bitter orange zest quality on the back half. Finishes long and juicy, with a repeating floral note and subtle grip. Flavorful and intense on the medium- to full-bodied palate yet so very restrained and elegant. Super-value wine as always.

The wine has been finding its style, and in the 2000s, they believe they are finding it through more elegance and less extraction, with fruit and more integration of the oak, leaving the initial model of Bordeaux, or later in Napa, and now admitting that it’s a more Mediterranean expression of the Cabernet.
It’s vibrant, tasty and lively, with focused and clean aromas and flavours and polished and elegant tannins. It has a tasty, long finish, lifted by the freshness and a chalky, mineral, almost salty touch. This feels long-lived through balance and good acidity.

Bin 2 was first released in 1960, yet was discontinued in Australia in the 1970s at the height of the White Wine boom. The original Bin 2 was an ‘Australian Burgundy’ style (despite its Rhone varieties) – typically a soft, medium-bodied wine based on Shiraz. The Bin 2 blend of Shiraz and Mataro is still relatively uncommon in Australian table wines.
Also known as Monastrell or Mourvedre, Mataro was introduced to Australia in the 1830s. Sometimes used in fortified wine production, this grape is widely planted in the Barossa Valley. It is greatly valued by winemakers for its blending attributes, adding complexity and palate grip. Interest in Bin 2 has grown as the popularity of traditional Rhone varieties and blends continues to flourish. t’s bold and dark, creamy and concentrated, with blackberried fruit, suede-like notes, clove and vanilla cream all laid on. This wasn’t bottled at the time of the annual tasting so a review bottle was sent: I opened it and promptly polished off more than I’d care to responsibly admit. It has both heaviness and heat but it swooshes through the mouth with confidence and ease.

Reviews:
"I was concerned that this might be too rich and exaggerated, especially after the initial aromas of butterscotch on the nose, but no need to worry. There’s enough fruit flavours here to bring a sense of balance and freshness. Stonefruit flavours with peach and citrus, a round, plump mouthfeel, and a hint of vanilla with the oak. It’s a smart combination."

"Medium straw gold with green edges. Fresh bread crust, preserved lemon, ripe yellow melon, white peach flesh, butterscotch, creamed honey, crushed white salt, roast pork flesh and a little hessian sack. Full and fleshy. There’s a touch of struck match and white quartz stoniness to give some interest and balance over lemon curd, peach melba and nougat. The finish is still crisp with a bitter herb nuance. It’s unapologetically big in style, but showing some class."

Fragrant dark fruits with hints of red cherry and spicy oak. Fruit driven palate, blackberry and cherries with hints of vanilla oak. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon make wonderful partners in traditional Australian blend. The spiciness of the Shiraz and berry flavours of the Cabernet Sauvignon make for a harmonious blend. Harvested at optimum flavour ripeness, then fermented on skins with some American oak.
A Classic Tuscany blend of Vermentino & Trebbiano, aged for 4 months in stainless steel tanks, from the 700 years old Tenuta Remole estate. A brilliant straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is pleasantly fruity, with notes of ripe pear and clear scents of nectarine. The delicate floral notes of hawthorn melt in the mouth with a palatable and balanced taste. As an appealing, versatile White Wine with crisp, fruity aromas, Remole Bianco makes a wonderful aperitif wine, and is a tasty partner to generous salads and fish-based dishes as well.

This is an extremely friendly red, pretty purple colour with shiny reflections. The nose reveals a seductive bouquet of red fruit and spices. Full of delicacy, the palate is full of freshness and well balanced, with aromas of cherries and very soft tannins, giving this wine great drinkability.
Aged for over a year in French barrels, this beautiful Pinot Noir reflect the classic Russian River/Green Valley fruit: dark berries and a hint of orange peel. Luscious, vibrant nose of black cherry and ripe red fruits like Santa Rosa plums, with background notes of orange peel and clove. The firm, rich tannins promise a long life; this wine will continue to develop for another 10-15 years.

Very pale straw colour. Clean citrus and floral notes are complexed with fresh cream and bread dough aromas. The fine bubbles provide a creamy texture, while the delicate acidity balances the fresh fruit.
A celebration of our Italian roots, planted in Australian soil. Enjoyed internationally, these wines reflect the styles of wine that have been appreciated by the De Bortoli family for four generations.
This Sauvignon Blanc has become known as a benchmark for Adelaide Hills, and Australian whites. The familiar Shaw + Smith take on clean, lean Sauvignon Blanc continues to confidently champion a distinctive Adelaide Hills style rather than chase other more overt and pungent examples.
Bursting from the glass comes passionfruit pulp scooped out of the hull, guava and honeydew wedges. Aromas of subtle jasmine blossom and white grapefruit juice. The palate takes on more of a lemon citrus tone with nashi pear and crisp Johnny apple flesh. A luscious mouth feel is complemented by racy acidity and the wine finishes with a swift crispness that only the Hills can provide. You just have to remark at the pedigree of this wine, it’s impossible not to adore it and see why it dominates the Sauvignon Blanc landscape of Australia.

Pale straw with a green tinge. Fresh, aromatic with fresh pear, stone fruit and balanced with a subtle, hint of oak. Tight and bright early picked peach and melon notes carried on a weighty palate, culminating in a fresh & crisp finish with the most interesting of oak nuances. Medium bodied, seriously delicious Australian Chardonnay!
