92 points Falstaff"Smoky aroma, strong mineral note, wet hot slate, candied citrus, mint, flint. On the palate a tense interplay between fruit and acidity, lots of traction, citrus, delicate phenolics, elegant and firm, good length, beautiful and with...

93 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett opens clear, bright and complex on the subtle and refined, beautifully flinty and delicately fruity nose. Salty-piquant and highly stimulating straightaway yet still far too young to...

95+ points Jeb Dunnuck“Coming from depressingly low yields of just 26 hectoliters per hectare (the lowest since 1991), the 2020 Château Lagrange checks in as 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that was raised in 60% new...

97 points Vinous"The 2016 Suduiraut is fabulous. Crème brûlée, passion fruit, tangerine peel and exotic floral notes all race out of the glass. I marvel at how Suduiraut can deliver so much flavor intensity and yet remain so gracious...

95 points Decanter"Slightly reductive nose currently, but it’s pure, fruity and juicy on the palate, with vibrant acidity and a long finish. A powerful and concentrated, joyful style of Condrieu with rich peach, apricot flesh, cinnamon and citrus...

Jancis Robinson"Also rich and slow, like the Folatières – heavy with its oak mantle. But the Garenne does have more freshness and racy acidity. Lime and lemon zest. Long in the spine and mid line, promising magnificence if you wait...

Jancis Robinson"According to Claudine Blain, this vineyard is more calcareous, giving a more austere but longer-lived wine than the straight Chassagne.First impression is creamy and gentle but on the palate, there's tight, steely power. Pure, stony and...

Vinous Reverie NotesLes Boutières is sandwiched between the premier crus of Pernand “Basses Vergelesses” and Aloxe-Corton’s Vercots and Guèrets premier Crus. Its uniquely situated at the crossroad of Pernand-Vergelesses,...

91+ points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Marsannay Les Ouzeloy is showing very well, bursting with notes of dark berries and plums mingled with licorice and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with good concentration and powdery structuring...
