From one of Margaret River’s most celebrated estates, the 2003 Leeuwin Estate Museum ‘Art Series’ Chardonnay carries the distinction of a producer whose flagship Chardonnay has long helped define the standard for great Australian white wine.

Critic Reviews

95 Points - Tyson Stelzer

“'This is a chardonnay with jaw-dropping texture and mouth-feel. The finish is amazingly persistent with fine acidity and cashew nut complexity supporting its excellent white peach, nectarine and apricot fruit. It was bottled just the day before I tasted it at Leeuwin, and if this is the description of a bottle-shocked wine then I'm speechless!'”

93 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

“The classic 2003 Chardonnay Art Series was aged in 100% new French oak for 18 months, but you would never know that. It boasts a layered, white peach and honeyed citrus bouquet intermixed with subtle background wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied with excellent acidity, minerality, and structure, this beauty will be even better with another 1-2 years of bottle age.”
