The 2024 Yarra Yering Crécy Chardonnay is a premium, single-vineyard expression from the Yarra Valley, crafted in a refined, Burgundy-inspired style that emphasises precision and site character. Sourced from the historic Crécy vineyard, it represents a more focused and mineral-driven take on Australian Chardonnay. The nose is elegant and complex, showing citrus blossom, lemon curd and white peach, layered with subtle flint, hazelnut and well-integrated oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture and vibrant acidity. Bright citrus and stone fruit are supported by fine minerality and gentle lees influence, leading to a long, structured and persistent finish. The style is poised and sophisticated, balancing freshness, depth and restraint.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Yarra Valley Chardonnay for customers seeking a more serious, terroir-driven wine. It’s ideal for Burgundy lovers or those wanting a step up in complexity and structure from classic Australian Chardonnay. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with lobster, scallops, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes.
