Moss Wood Chardonnay 2011 Margaret River

This is an absolute cracker.  Just buy it.  A friend recommended this over the Petaluma Chardy and I should have listened.

The smell is heavy fruit with the undertone of no nonsense lime.  I get a lot of citrus from this glass without it being an overripe sickening Verdelho.  It is just downright tasty and I genuinely could not stop drinking it.  I personally found it to be medium bodied.  It wasn't light and didn't disappear, yet it wasn't a heavy awkward glass that sat at the back of your throat like a bad mouthwash.  Everything about this Moss wood is just perfection.  The initial taste is spectacular, the finish is lingering yet not overpowering and the build of different fruit throughout the journey is interesting.  

It is a wine that can be drank in most situations, with most foods.  It is just an excellent, outstanding chardonnay.  More please!

Chateau De Maligny Petit Chablis 2012 and 2009

Nicest white I've tested this year  

Chateau De Maligny Petit Chablis 2012

Let me set the scene: 32oC,  nothing but the sound of the wind through the palms trees.  Branches groaning under the weight of the ripe coconuts and a gentle breeze running over my rashie (tans are not cool!).   I needed a glass of wine,  but not any glass of wine,  I fancied a white wine! Wonders will never cease.  My change in heart was 100% down to being on the gorgeous island of ile des pins.   For those in the know, ile des pins is an "overseas collectivity" (COM) of France so it has plenty of French wines to drink.  After a long consultation with the sommelier,  (because I know nothing about French wine) we decided I should try the 2012 Petit Chablis from Chateau De Maligny.
The wine is crisp and has a lovely vanilla fudge flavour.  It sits a light golden colour in the glass and smells a faintly of freshly baked fairy cake.  Initial taste is subtle and builds in the mouth.  It lingers  just long enough to be remembered,  but no chemical entails are left.

 This is a great alternative to Montrachet at a fraction of the price.

As a side note,  I was lucky enough to try the 2009.  If you can,  but this over the 2012. However,  the sommelier opened one and it was corked.  Guess that's just the problem with older cork stopper white wine.
Lastly,  I also tried the  2013 and it wasn't a patch on either of the above.
