This is one of two Member's Shop exclusives for Autumn 2025, limited to 180 bottles available for purchase.
 
Our 2024 Members’ Reserve Chardonnay is a tête de cuvée selection of a small portion (so as not to take away from the main blend) of four barrels selected for their depth and style. Thirty percent of the wine was drawn from a new Dominique Laurent ‘Magic Cask’, the remainder from 2-4 year-old Stockinger hogsheads.
 
Every year we tinker in the background with slight tweaks to barrels, solids, pressing and elevage, bottling off small amounts for home drinking and to taste over the years and inform our future path. The quality of this particular trial has led to a slightly larger bottling, enough to share with our members.
 
Bright light straw with a hint of green, nose is powerfully aromatic, full of lemon oil, hazelnut, tarragon and subtle smoky oak and flinty reduction. Bold and structured on the palate, time in the glass reveal layers of depth and flavour, and exceptional length, built around concentrated citrus and creamy, leesy elements.
 
Very much in the traditional style of a great Meursault, a wine to enjoy now or age into the medium to long term.
