Tim Atkin (TA) : 96 Points (2019)

As its name suggests, this superb Chardonnay comes from a vineyard that is rich in clay, making it a very good bet in drier vintages. Produced from just 0.5 hectares on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, it's bright, salty, leesy and judiciously oaked, with the kind of precision and palate length that wouldn't look out of place in Puligny-Montrachet. Drink 2021-26.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 93 Points (2019)

The 2019 Clay Shales was whole-bunch-pressed and matured for 10 months in foudre and 500-liter barrels. It has a clean, precise bouquet revealing traces of red apples and a hint of quince. The palate is well balanced with more weight and density than The Agnes, a lovely saline note emerging toward the finish. Grippy and pithy, displaying superb persistency and poise Drink 2022-35.

Robert Parker (RP) : 91 Points (2016)

The 2016 Clay Shales Chardonnay marks a change since it aged in 2,600-liter Stockinger foudres as Peter-Allan moves towards larger vessels. It has a very composed bouquet with a subtle resinous, nutmeg oil and walnut notes that become more prominent with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with light lemon sorbet notes, a keen thread of acidity and a precise and sustained finish. Give this another year in bottle, because it is keeping its cards to itself at the moment.

Jancis Robinson (JR) : 17 Points (2015)

Winning nose. Creamy and very attractive and well integrated already. Great texture and freshness. Spice and green fruit. Complex and very satisfying.
