Special Designation

94 points Wine Enthusiast"The nose offers cherries, vanilla and toasted coconut over aromas of leather, flint and currants. On the palate, blackberries and dried cranberries emphasize more cherries, while dusty tannins swim in a thick undertow of...

94 points Decanter"With an average annual production of 200,000 bottles, Castello di Montsanto’s Riserva is the flagbearer of the winery, and in some vintages there are five bottles of Riserva produced to just one bottle of annata. Opening flecks...

96 points Decanter"Jean-Michel and Michelle Masson took over the running of the family domaine in 1975, and their daughter Mélanie and son Pierre-François are now fully involved. Today they have 21ha in Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre...

96 points James Suckling"Hold on to your hat! The nose of this extraordinary dry chenin blanc is right on the borderline between summer flowers and floral hone, and it pulls you inexorably into this extremely vibrant and mineral wine. Astonishing...

97 points Wine Advocate"Basket pressed and vinified in traditional oak and stainless steel, the 2020 Vogelsang Kabinett is pure, bright and fresh on the highly delicate and flinty nose that shows precise and elegant fruit intertwined with the serious,...

90 points Wine Enthusiast"Crisp and focused, this Prosecco lights up the glass with notes of Honey-crisp apple, white flowers and crushed stone. The vibrant palate emulates the nose with a touch more flint on the zippy finish."

92+ points Wine Advocate"The expressive white 2020 Brezo Godello (which contains 10% Doña Blanca) has notes of grape pulp and candied yellow fruit, wet sand and stones, full of personality and beyond the varietal aromas. It has moderate ripeness...

95 points James Suckling"So much candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme in the nose! However, this compact and highly structured Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling is still very youthful and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and big glasses!)...

96 points Jasper Morris"There will be no En la Richarde Folatières from Héritiers Louis Jadot this year, but this bottling is superb. A little more toastiness on the nose. This builds beautifully to the back of the palate, showing an...

95 points Jasper Morris"Clear mid yellow. So much energy here too. An impressively racy quality with plenty of weight, very Charmes in character, strong fruit, and then a crunch of acidity. A little saline touch yet also some of the more exotic side...

94 points James Suckling"I like the white flower elements to this alongside blanched almonds, white pears, wet stones and praline. Salty undertones. Focused and composed, with a full body, bright acidity and again, fantastic minerality. Dialled back...
