2022 Craggy Range Les Beaux Cailloux Chardonnay

James Suckling

Out of stock

The top Chardonnay from Craggy Range's lovingly managed vines. The name "Beaux Cailloux" refers to the beautiful stones of the Gimblett Gravels, which are greatly valued for retaining the heat of the day and ensuring good drainage away from the vine roots. The result is a consitent ripeness and intensity of fruit flavours, which Craggy have harnessed to create one of the finest Chardonnays in the country. Volumes are tiny, so grab some while it's here!

$153.00 in mixed 6+ or $170.00 per bottle

Its Origins

Craggy Range began with the desire to create a legacy. When Terry Peabody visited New Zealand in 1997 he was introduced to Steve Smith, MW. Terry sensed an exciting possibility in New Zealand; the exceptional climate and spirit of the people aligned with his own philosophy and desire to cut a new path. He wanted to create wines that would become internationally regarded as New World classics. The two men made an important decision from the beginning - to select and source the best land in the country, and to plant the vines perfectly suited to that soil and climate. The winery - one of the most technically advanced ever built in New Zealand - is known for uncompromising standards and meticulous craftsmanship.

What The Critics Say

95/100 James Suckling

"Smells like a beautiful mountain stream with subtle sliced apples and hints of honeysuckle and lemongrass on both the nose and palate. Composed and compact, with fantastic tension and focus. It shows superb length. Only 100 cases made."
