Leeuwin Est Chard Art 06

$104.90 750 MLS

One of the great Chardonnays of the world and arguably the best white wine of Australia. The 2006 Leeuwin ‘Art Series’ Chardonnay is being mooted as the best ever, with a host of top reviews, several critics including Ray Jordan, Campbell Mattinson, Nick Stock, Tyson Stelzer and James Halliday all rating it at 97 points. Made from the ‘Gin Gin’ clone from Block 20, the ‘Front Gate’ Chardonnay vines nearing 30 years of age, this was fully barrel fermented to 14.5% alc., aged 12 months in first-grade oak and given a partial malo conversion.. Leeuwin has a style of its own. Its massive richness, density and concentration is never overbearing, but makes the wine complete in every aspect. Huge mealy succulence, yet perfectly dry and clean. The complexity is instantly seen on first nosing and tasting. It is completely seductive and will be so for 6-8 years. The 2006 features the artwork of Richard Larter entitled “Spring Disposition”. Many wine lovers would choose this wine and art package over that of Chateau Mouton-Rothchild… RC Jan 10
