Kocabağ 2015 Emir

Points : 8,25/10 Price : 63 TL Kocabağ Emir 2015 : First expérience here. It’s my first bottle from Kocabağ winery and my first bottle of Emir (a local white grape) not blended with something else. It’s not easy to find bottles from this winery located in Cappadocia. The only place I saw them so…

Turasan Seneler 2015 Chardonnay

Points : 6/10 Price : Around 75 TL Turasan Seneler Chardonnay 2015 : I love Turasan Seneler red wine série but this Chardonnay is not exactly on the same level. The first impression is nice with a quite aromatic nose : white flowers, peanuts and brioche. In the mouth it doesn’t lack flavours either. It…

LA, Consensus 2013 Chardonnay

Lucien Arkas is a francophone passionate man who makes wine not only from French grapes like this Chardonnay but also from local grapes. Can’t wait…

Points : 8,25/10 Price : Around 110 TL Yedi Bilgeler, Anaxagoras, Chardonnay Rezerv 2017 : This is not a typical Chardonnay as I usually like them … BUT! This is a very generous wine full of rich aromas of pineapple, exotic fruits and white peach. So fruity in the mouth with flavours of pear, yellow…

Chamlija Felix Culpa 2014 Chardonnay

Points : 8,5/10 Price : 90 TL Believe me, I’m entirely objective when I say that it’s one of the best Chardonnay i had in Turkey. And yes, once again, it’s from Chamlija winery. To be fair, I tried the “regular” Chardonnay from the same vintage and I was quite disappointed.. too herbal,, nothing much…
