Domaine Naturaliste Purus Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Margaret River

Crafted by Bruce Dukes in the cool-southern Margaret River, this Dijon-clone Chardonnay radiates precision and purity. Delicate notes of white pear, jasmine blossom, and wet granite float above a palate carved with grapefruit pith and nectarine flesh, framed by fine-textured fruit tannin and porcelain-like tension. The drive and structure are striking – lush yet laser-focused, with a bristling wall of minerality and high-tension acidity. Garnering 96 points from Halliday and Ray Jordan, plus 95 points from James Suckling’s Top 100 Australian Wines, this wine delivers elegance, energy and seamless poise – vibrant now or cellar-worthy for up to eight years.
