If you collect Chardonnay, take a look at what we’ve put together in this group of the world’s best Chardonnays. Included are wines from Burgundy, California and Australia. We have new world gems, such as the 2006 Kistler Cuvee Cathleen, which Robert M. Parker Jr. rated at 96-98 pts, and wines from traditional French producers, such as the 2005 William Fevre Chablis Les Clos. Stephen Tanzer rated the 2005 Willam Fevre Chablis at 93-96 pts and described it like this: “Pale, green-tinged color. Pure but subdued nose hints at minerals and lime, with flint and quinine emerging with aeration. Penetrating and powerful, with superb cut and grip...” All the wines offered here earned at least 90 pts from reviewers.
