Huon Hooke (The Real Review) on Bass Phillip's 2021 Vintage
"Bass Phillip has released its first batch of wines produced entirely under its new ownership, including the guidance of Jean-Marie Fourrier. The wines are stunningly good.

These are exciting wines that further lift the already established reputation of this domaine.

Four pinot noirs, a gamay and two chardonnays, all from the 2021 vintage have been reviewed, and they are all superb."

97 points - Jane Faulkner, The Wine Companion
So the premium chardonnay has its mojo back. Excellent news. Tightly focused with pristine fruit of sliced lemon, white peach, powdered ginger, sea spray and umami/nougatine lees, creamy, too, with the oak superbly integrated. Complex, detailed and flavoursome with chalky acidity that corrals all those flavours in obedience finishing long and pure. What a wine.

96 points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Mid-yellow colour, the bouquet is strong on mealy, creamy yeast lees, buttery bread-crust and stone-fruit aromas and flavours including a trace of parmesan. The palate is soft and round, ample and creamy, the finish is clean and dry. It's a generous, concentrated and layered style of chardonnay.

95 Points - Anne Krebiehl MW, Decanter
Both fresh and dried lemon rind unite into a lifted perfume, backed by a rich creaminess. More air brings hints of dried wheat chaff. The palate comes in with immediate roundness, ripeness and depth, set against a pithy, chalky and textured mid-palate. Serene lemon ripeness accentuates the concentration and lemon oil purity. This is rich and ripe, yet totally linear. Very well proportioned with a long lemon echo. This underwent full malolactic conversion and spent 14 months in 60% new oak which it carries exceptionally well.
