{"product_id":"2024-bass-phillip-premium-chardonnay","title":"2024 Bass Phillip Premium Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile Bass Phillip built its legendary name on Pinot Noir, their Premium Chardonnay is equally rare and revered among collectors. Jean-Marie Fourrier brings his master-level Burgundian touch to these close-planted, low-yielding South Gippsland vines, treating Chardonnay with the same fanatical precision as his reds. This flagship white is sourced from the absolute best parcels of the estate, aiming for maximum complexity and structural power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage was a cold, slow-burning year that forced the grapes to hang on the vine until late March. This extended season kept yields tiny but loaded the fruit with intense flavor and a piercing natural acidity. In the cellar, the fruit went through a gentle wild fermentation and spent its maturation in high-quality French oak barrels, letting the natural richness of the fruit integrate seamlessly with the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with white peach, Meyer lemon, toasted hazelnut, and a flinty, struck-match mineral character. The palate is intensely concentrated and textural, balancing its creamy, barrel-aged weight with a laser-sharp beam of cool-climate acidity that drives a remarkably long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a monumental, tightly wound white that easily rivals Grand Cru Burgundy, solidifying Bass Phillip as a true dual-threat master of both colours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bass Phillip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44273299193899,"sku":"2024 Bass Phillip Premium Chardonnay","price":140.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023BassPhillipPremiumChardonnay_7bf32f44-dfc8-427e-a37c-6f6b32ccbd68.webp?v=1782974619","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-bass-phillip-premium-chardonnay","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
