Our 2025 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.
 
Ten per cent of the wine was drawn from a new Dominique Laurent ‘Magic Cask’, the remainder from 2-4 year-old Stockinger hogsheads. Fermented with a high degree of solids and held on lees for 12 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered. 
 
Bright light straw with a hint of green, nose is powerfully aromatic, preserved lemon, jasmine, white truffle, hazelnut, tarragon and subtle smoky oak and crushed stone. Bold and structured on the palate, time in the glass reveal layers of depth and flavour, and exceptional length, built around concentrated talc like phenolics, deep citrus fruits and stoney mineral complexity.

Very much in the traditional style of a great Meursault, a wine to enjoy now or age into the medium to long term.
