Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 1996
Jeremy’s score 86/100 -
Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 1998
Jeremy’s score 88/100A rich, generous and up-front chardonnay which finishes a little thin and hot behind some slightly spiky acids. Attractive and slightly mealy citrus fruit and nutty, buttery oak should develop along the rather oily and creamy palate.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 1999
Jeremy’s score 90/100 -
Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2000
Jeremy’s score 90/100It’s very ripe, rather lean and could use more palate length, but this is a fragrant, if rather oaky young chardonnay with some fineness and attitude. There’s a hint of cashew behind its forward grapefruit, melon and tropical fruit flavours, while its front palate is juicy and sappy, before a short, but savoury and drying finish.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2001
Jeremy’s score 95/100Fine, stylish chardonnay of balance and length, complexity and integration. A delicate honeysuckle aroma of lime juice, tropical melon and grapefruit flavours has a restrained background of lightly toasty oak. Fleshy and supple, the palate offers pleasing weight and baby fat texture, before a revitalising finish of lemon and mineral acids.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2002
Jeremy’s score 89/100 -
Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2003
Jeremy’s score 95/100Very stylish, structured and concentrated Margaret River chardonnay whose delicate perfume of peach, tinned pineapple and pear, apple and ruby grapefruit is interwoven with creamy lees and oak-derived influences. Vibrant, smooth and very elegant, its juicy core of bright fruit flavours is harmoniously knit with nutty, savoury oak and soft, but refreshing acids.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2004
Jeremy’s score 94/100A modern and stylish chardonnay whose complex, spicy aromas of melon and grapefruit are backed by smoky vanilla oak, hints of lime and creamy, leesy undertones. Long and sumptuous, it’s smooth, creamy palate of grapefruit, melon and peach is underpinned by a chalky minerality and punctuated by a tangy, citrusy finish. Very complex and stylish.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2005
Jeremy’s score 95/100Meaty, funky aromas of citrusy fruit, dried flowers and grilled nuts precede a bright, mouthfilling and tangy palate wrapped in refreshing and mineral acids. It’s citrusy and tropical, with plenty of lemony oak and length of fruit. Already deliciously flavoursome, complex and savoury, and able to soak up its smart new French oak, it’s perhaps not for the long term.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2006
Jeremy’s score 96/100Very polished, tightly integrated and seamless, this finely crafted chardonnay marries vibrant peach, melon, pineapple and ruby grapefruit flavours with complex lees-derived and oaky characters. ItÕs waxy and floral, with cheesy, smoked bacon-like undertones and suggestions of bubblegum. Luscious and generous without resorting to sheer power, its evenly balanced and sophisticated palate delivers length and freshness, finishing long and savoury.

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2007
Jeremy’s score 93/100Stylish and finely balanced, this youthful and vibrant chardonnay appears to have been bottled earlier than many to retain its freshness and brightness. Its deep and fragrant presence of grapefruit, melon, white peach and lime knits tightly with restrained nutty and lightly smoky oak and mineral undertones. Underpinned by a lemon sherbet-like chalkiness, itÕs very concentrated and luscious but does retain genuine elegance and shape.
