95 points Wine Enthusiast"A pure nose exuding perfectly ripe red fruit, enveloped by black plum, violet and green peppercorn. The palate is immediately greeted with a rush of acidity, rolling in a wave of black cherry, thyme stem, violets, iris, clove...

94 points Vinous"The 1968 Rivesaltes has a more powerful bouquet than the 1969: dried honey, marmalade, fig, hints of marzipan and Chinese 5-spice. Like the 1969 this is very well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced with a viscous texture. There...

93 points James Suckling"The effusive nose of candied citrus, ripe pear and brioche pulls you into this fresh and creamy champagne that hits all the pleasure buttons for a non-vintage Brut. Then the chalky freshness at the finish pulls you back for...

Vinous Reverie NotesPierre Clavel produces this interesting, herby wine in Montpeyroux, one of the finer Languedoc sub-areas. Tasting Notes: Intense strawberry and bramble fruits with ripe juicy tannins; a marriage of wild garrigue herbs with...

95 points Vinous"Conterno's 2017 Barolo Ginestra is a wine of gravitas and pure power. All of the muscle of Ginestra comes through loud and clear. I am not sure the tannins will ever fully soften - this is Ginestra after all - but there is certainly...

92 points Vinous"Opaque ruby. Mineral-accented aromas of blackberry, cherry-cola and violet are complemented by a hint of exotic spices. Sappy and appealingly sweet, offering palate-staining black and blue fruit, floral pastille, smoky mineral and...

92 points Vinous“The NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Henri III Grand Cru is another impressive wine in this range. Light oak accents work well here. White flowers, mint, white orchard fruit and lemon confit bring out the brighter side of Pinot Noir in this...
