Tasting Notes
The epitome of good Chardonnay... It reminds me of Premier Cru Meursault. Rich and complex, with layer upon layer of flavour and character. Apricot and quince fruits with a bright palate of persistent flavour and mineral line that brings it all together. One of Australia's best and you don't have to spend $100. - Distributor Note.
Picardy is a family-owned estate in Western Australia’s Pemberton region, founded in 1993 by Bill and Sandra Pannell—pioneers of Moss Wood in Margaret River—together with their son Dan. Drawn to Pemberton’s high rainfall, cool climate and gravelly soils, the family established one of the region’s benchmark vineyards, planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet varieties. The vineyards are dry-grown and farmed with a focus on sustainability, producing fruit of natural balance and concentration.
In the cellar, the Pannells favour a restrained, traditional approach: hand harvesting, wild ferments, gentle handling, and judicious use of French oak. Their Pinot Noir, modelled on the great wines of Burgundy, has become particularly acclaimed, while the Chardonnay and Bordeaux-inspired blends reflect both varietal clarity and regional freshness.
Today, Picardy stands as one of Australia’s leading cool-climate estates, producing wines of elegance, structure and longevity, underpinned by a deep respect for terroir and family tradition.
