Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay Margaret River – 2019

There are so many great Chardonnays from Burgundy and elsewhere, but there’s none that I love more than Leeuwin’s famous Art Series. There is no more picturesque winery in the world to visit and there is no other Chardonnay I know at this price which can age so beautifully and consistently for 20 years or more in bottle.

“The 2019 Art Series Chardonnay is rich and savory but pure and saline too. There is white peach, red apples, curry leaf and brine. The way the flavor moves across the palate is testament to the phenolics that course through the wine; it’s all at a perfect intersect of fruit power, tannin and perfectly judged acidity. The flavor stains the palate and lingers in an unravelling spool of thread in the mouth long after the wine has gone. A stupendously good wine.” 98pts The Wine Advocate
