Here's a Burgundy lover's off-piste discovery. "Morillon" is simply the Styrian name for Chardonnay, and this one is grown on Muschelkalk, a bedrock of fossilized shell limestone. Tement ferments it naturally and ages it in large neutral oak, so there's texture and grip but none of the buttery makeup. Vines up to four decades old give it depth, while the limestone gives it that saline snap. The result is an Old-World Chardonnay that trades in restraint and minerality, made by one of Austria's finest for a fraction of what its Burgundian cousins ask.

"From vines up to 41 years old, Tement's 2023 Muschelkalk Morillon was vinified for 15 months in large oak vats and is still a young and fresh as well as savory and lemony-scented Chardonnay in the unmistakable Tement style. Still very young on the nose and with charming sur lie notes, this is a textured and elegant Morillon from limestone soils. Provided with fine oak tannins and flavors, this is a light to medium-bodied, pure, fresh and lemon-bitter as well as saline-finishing white with grip and stimulation yet not the sweetness and roundness of a classic "oaky" white. This is a pretty good gastronomic Chardonnay that is fine and elegant yet certainly not as complex as the crus of this Austrian icon producer. 12.5% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted at the domaine in Berghausen in April 2025." —Stephan Reinhardt
