Purchased from Purple Palate Maroochydore for $22. Pale green straw colour, it has developed some colour since last time we tried this. Beautiful restrained oak nose with a hint of cashew and stone fruit, very Burgundian. We discovered this wine at a wine dinner on the Sunshine Coast last year, and wow, what a collection of wine he makes, the Chardonnay was the standout for mine. We managed to have a great chat with the winemaker and got onto the topic of our common love for Burgundy and in particular the wine maker Etienne Sauzet, who is his main influence in making this wine. Undiscovered, understated and underpriced, this wine is an excellent example of it's variety, regardless of it's origin. 90/100 and buy as much as you can while at this price, it won't be this value for long.
