Special Designation

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...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"This wine is a caress in a glass. Golden in hue, the wine has a smile-inducing nose of warm orchard fruit including yellow apple and sun-warmed pear followed by dried honeysuckle petals. The palate is rich and creamy with hints...

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...

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...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck"Pouring an inky youthful ruby, the 2021 Zinfandel Papera Ranch is ripe with lavender, ripe boysenberry, fig, melding spices, and wet stone. Full-bodied and opulent, it opens to a flood of ripe baked berries, with sweet earth, supple...

95 points James Suckling"Pretty nose of lychees, white peaches, candied lemons, tangerines, honeysuckle and stem ginger. Sweet and luscious with a creamy, peachy palate. Acidity gives it a lift on the finish. Wonderful freshness and elegance. Drink or...

Vinous Reverie NotesThis place is located in the upper part of Chambolle, behind the church and not far from the old village oven. Facing due south, the wines produced from this terroir located on the rock and a mixture of clay soil and scree of...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"Pretty nose of wild strawberries, pomegranates, red cherries, rose water, red tea and licorice. Delicate and elegant, with a medium body and silky, sleek tannins. Fresh and bright. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 92 points Wine...
