Our first experience with the Leeuwin Chardonnay was several years ago at The Wine Spectator Gala in Los Angeles; it was the best white wine of the tasting. I just tasted the 2019 last weekend with several other top wines, and I’m happy to say it was the best wine on the table again. It was paired with the 2014 Bouchard Le Montrachet, and while it did not have the richness and depth of the Montrachet, the complexity, elegance, and length were profound, and I scored it 97 points! The cooler climate of the Margaret River valley really shines through in this wine. The aromatics are super-expressive, the balance is perfect, the use of oak is not intrusive, and the length is beguiling. Some great press, too; this is the best rendition ever and not to be missed!
Decanter 98 pts! "Gloriously perfumed, pure and precise, with heady lily opening up. Softly smoky, slow-burn oak suffuses the palate without detracting from the classic, fresh-cut and succulent poached pear, with firmer al dente pear skin and a touch of custard apple sweetness. Lanolin, cinnamon and lemon puff biscuit bring texture and nuance. Terrific length, poise and intensity, with lingering fruit and perfume. Archetypal Art Series.
Wine Advocate 98 pts! "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."
Vinous 96 pts! "This very impressive 2019 Margaret River Chardonnay Art Series from a benchmark winemaker is a baby and built for the long haul. It's tightly wound and bursting with youthful vitality thanks to exceptionally precise melon, citrus and floral aromas. There is a rare combination of seamlessness and power - a steel fist in a velvet glove - with oak perfectly matched. Fantastic fruit volume follows yet the wine also remains light on its feet with a long line of flavours slowly emerging including praline, nougat, citrus and spicy oak through to a finish of immense length. A true classic."
Wine Spectator 95 pts! "Succulent and distinctive, with crème fraîche, tahini and salted butterscotch notes up front that are aromatic and appealing, with fresh-grated ginger, mouthwatering acidity and a vibrant, juicy mouthful of dried pineapple, pomelo and yuzu flavors at the core. Ultimately, the tension between all the balanced elements creates a complex, stunning wine."
