| "A blend of 20% Pinot Noir and 80% Chardonnay ; from a single 1er cru lieu-dit ; the Chardonnay is aged for one year in small barrels and undergoes malolactic fermentation ; aged eight (8) years on the lees, this cuvée receives a minimal dosage upon disgorgement." Rosenthal Wine Merchant
"This is the first wine among these 2014s to display any appreciable wood with its dried orchard fruit, iodine and lemongrass suffused nose. There is outstanding concentration and punch to the powerful and palate coating flavors that deliver excellent length on the balanced finish that is shaped by a firm acid spine. This is clean, very dry and really quite serious. Patience required." 91-93 Points Allen Meadows
"The 2005 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet is more complex than the Vaillon, unfurling with complex aromas of honeycomb, mandarin oil, fresh mushroom, almond paste and oyster shell. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and gourmand, with a satiny attack, a deep, concentrated core and tangy balancing acids. It's a textural, sapid Chablis that will work well at the table." 93 Points Wine Advocate
"Fresh Asian pear, lemon blossoms and honeysuckle make for an enjoyable nose on this bottling from a very coastally influenced vineyard just east of Santa Maria. The acidity on the palate is super racy and vibrant, carrying flavors of chalk and lime pith that sizzle long and deep." 94 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Mulberry, forest floor, moss, thyme, incense and rainbow peppercorns show on the dynamic nose of this bottling by second-generation vintner Drake Whitcraft. Rounded boysenberry fruit meets with herbal freshness on the palate, which is slightly richer than many of his bottlings but still very much in the lighter house style. The tannins are sturdy." 93 Points Wine Enthusiast"A lovely wine, sleek yet complex, with expressive rose petal and lavender aromas, opening to refined raspberry, stony mineral and spice flavors that sail toward polished tannins." 94 Points Wine Spectator
"It expresses a very beautiful maturity despite a year not so bright. The note and palate are correlated to the nature of the soil in Mercurey Les Montots: Clay-limestone with iron presence. This gives to the wine a racy, chiselled nose with chalky notes of cooked red fruits. On the palate, the wine is astonishingly supple and silky on first approach whilst the tannins are more presents on the finish lengthening the tasting and leave a powerful impression. A great wine with ageing potential." Domaine de Villaine
"A more deeply pitched array is composed mostly of plum liqueur, dark cherry and notably more earth influence. There is also more volume and muscle though less refinement to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length on the focused and sneaky long finale." 90-93 Points Allen Meadows
"Sylvain was most excited to inherit this full .40-hectare holding from his father. Planted in 1993, the Grand Clos Rousseau was always the top red wine from Jean-Marc Morey and always the most impressive old wine from his cellar. Intensely aromatic, with rich red fruits, savory earthy tones and sweet tannins, this over-achiever often stands up to the best reds of the Cote de Beaune. Roughly 30 cases a year are available for the US market." Rosenthal Wine Merchant
"The clean, floral and 2017 Ultreia Saint Jacques comes mostly from old vineyards from different soils in Valtuille and Villadecanes fermented in stainless steel and oak vats with part of full clusters and matured in used barriques for one year. It's produced in a fresh and very drinkable way. This is one of the best values from Bierzo and Spain, and a great introduction to Bierzo. It's a more serious wine than what the wine was when it was first produced, fresh and elegant. It's very reliable and a great value." 93 Points Wine Advocate
"Deeply colored, the 2016 Gigondas La Louisiane comes from single vineyard on the lower plain, not far from the estate, and is 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, and the balance Syrah and Cinsault. It offers a classic bouquet of dark berry fruits, peppery herbs, garrigue, and obvious minerality. Reminding me of the 2010 with its pure, straight style, it’s full-bodied and elegant on the palate, and is going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age." 96 Points Jeb Dunnuck
"Piaggia's 2015 Carmignano Il Sasso is rich, ample and voluptuous in what is a very representative expression of the year. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice, tobacco and dried herbs develop in the glass, but the 2015 is all about fruit intensity and texture. There is not much subtlety here, but wow, is the 2015 gorgeous." 95 Points Antonio Galloni |
