2023 Domaine Naturaliste 'Purus' Chardonnay 750Ml Bottle

A glass of this pure, racy Purus will bring spark back into your life. It’s more than the refreshing acidity, which is moreish and energising, there’s a light film of citrus and white stone fruit, a little spice, a very fine layering of texture and oak. Superb balance and length. Love it. 96 points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Dijon Clones of chardonnay 76 and 95, plus a little Clone 5 from California. This is precise and poised, etched out of crystal. Kinetic and tensile; hums with a high-frequency acidity. Candied lime and jasmine, white peach and grapefruit. An achingly pure acid line. Thrilling.

Purus. Karridale. Dijon clones 76, 95 and clone 5. 40% new oak. White peach, grapefruit, spicy clove and ginger oak, green olive and fennel, white flowers. It’s a tight wine, distinct green olive and lime rind bite, a little sour yoghourt, and quite some acidity here, a powdery chalky texture, with an olive brine savoury finish of zip and good length. It’s shelly and maybe sits on the cusp of ripeness, though it does have energy, and, I feel a bit of upside given a few more years in bottle. 93+ points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
