Special Designation

92 points James Suckling"More like a light red with fine bubbles in the mouth. It’s medium- to full-bodied with plenty of dried strawberries, mineral, nutmeg and spices with ginseng. Orange peel. A blend of 65% pinot noir, 15% chardonnay and 20%...

93 points Wine Spectator"A clean, brisk white, featuring yellow plum, wet stone, floral and lemon flavors. This has a roundness to its profile, though cut by vivid acidity, while the finish evokes ripe yellow fruit and mineral. Shows fine balance and...

95 points Vinous"The 2022 Le Mont Demi-Sec is less fruity and charming than, say, Clos du Bourg; its tension and line come from its flinty terroir. Despite its 21g/L residual sugar, it retains a sense of tautness without being totally linear. Radish and...

97 points James Suckling"This great Chateauneuf combines the richness of the vintage with remarkable precision and vitality. Stacks of ripe damson plum, licorice and candied orange. Great tannin structure and lots of power on the full-bodied palate, with...

92 points Decanter"Fresh fennel and gently floral aromas. This has a rounded, oval shape in the mouth, like a marble pebble. Very smooth and polished, but not oaky. Plenty of intensity of flavour, it’s concentrated and long – way better than...

92 points Vinous"The 2022 Sylvaner was harvested from very old vines in the deep clay of the Weinbaum site. Since there are no records, Fuchs guesses that they are around 70 years old. The nose is timid, almost closed. The palate is super-slender and...

94 points Falstaff"Medium yellow green, silver reflections. Delicately smoky-reductive, nuances of hazelnut, flint and lime zest, a background of white peach, mineral touch. Juicy, elegant, fresh apple, a tight-knit, lively structure with a salty finish,...

93 points James Suckling"I love the precise balance of full southerly ripeness with a touch of northerly freshness. Stacks of fully ripe red fruit aromas and remarkably fine tannins for this appellation make this stand out in the crowd. Long, complex,...

99 points James Suckling"Bbeautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very...

99 points Wine Advocate"The 2018 Canon is blended of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with a pH of 3.69 and 14% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it comes sashaying out of the glass with glamorous notes of cinnamon stick, baked blackberries, black...

100 points Jeb Dunnuck"Scheduled to be bottled early in 2022, the 2018 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a blockbuster of a wine offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, espresso, and violets. Coming from a...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Quite possibly the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, the 2020 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers that rare mix of richness and elegance that makes this vintage so compelling. Classic notes of cassis, ripe...
