BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon. Soft, oak-and-vanilla-lined white-fruit nose. Rich and smooth, with a big mousse. Round and mouth-filling, with medium length. 16

Simon Field: A persistent bead and impressive mousse cede to aromatics of honeydew melon and citron pressé. The palate is quite tight and firm, with a phenolic backdrop slightly undermining the purity of the attack. 15

Tom Stevenson: Lovely, soft, very easy-to-drink-now style of Chardonnay. I would be surprised if this ages particularly well, but it is a delight to drink now and for the next 12 months at least. 17
