2020 Leeuwin Estate 'Art Series' Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L

97 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

“A wine that tells the story of chardonnay's evolution in Margaret River and remains at the top of its game because it's a pure expression of place as much as the producer. It's refreshing, classy and superfine, the acidity reining everything in and towards an outrageously long finish. Mesmerising.”

97 Points - James Suckling

“Tauter than vintages of yore, boasting complex aromas of pear distillate, citrus verbena, nougat, cashew, cedar-tinged oak and succulent white peach. Immaculately constructed, pure and rather wonderful. Founded on a tensile stream of pungent mineral, transcendental poise and scintillating length. There is little out of place here. Superb New World chardonnay. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”

96 Points - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

“The 2020 Art Series Chardonnay fruit is ripe and concentrated, the aperture of the warm season focusing the fruit, contributing welcome width and amplitude. This wine was matured for 11 months in 100% new French oak-this is ever the way with this wine-and in some years that shows more clearly than others. It seems that the warmer years, those with expansive fruit profiles, will be the biggest beneficiaries of these conditions. As this is.”

95 Points - Wine Spectator

“This stunning version is a fresh, sleek and precise expression of Chardonnay, with bright flavors of peach, lemon zest and candied ginger, plus floral notes of jasmine, orange blossom and dried sage. Hints of salted, buttery shortbread, green cardamom and toasted sesame seed linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2036. 350 cases imported.”
