Vinous Reverie NotesPreviously owned by Bernardin monks before being transformed into a wine estate. Family owned for five generations. The vineyards are plowed and fertilized with organic compost made of the marc from spent grape skins. There is a...

94 points Vinous"The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru comes from Rion’s largest parcel of 1.8 hectares, currently undergoing piecemeal replanting using a massal selection program. This has a fragrant bouquet of red...

95 points Jasper Morris"Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet is noticeably more developed than Fourchaumes in an engaging soft woolly style of white fruit. There is a noticeably greater intensity of fruit here, along with a more defined acidity and, I suspect,...

96 points Decanter"Made from 70-year-old vines, a small part of the blend was matured in old casks, the rest in vats. This is powerful, complex, but also refined and understated. Crisp, vibrant acidity, subtle wood notes and a long, lingering, mineral...

95 points James Suckling"Lots of rose petals on the nose, together with orange peel and cherries. Medium-bodied with very long and bright fruit character. Goes on for minutes, with so much energy and brightness. Drink or hold." 94+ points Wine...

95 points Wine Advocate"Luscious fruit defines this 2020 King's Wood Shiraz, but it morphs through the middle palate with shades of meat, red licorice, dark chocolate and mulberry—it’s very sweet in character. There is blackberry, raspberry...

98 points James Suckling"A giant dry riesling that is so cool, focused and precise, it comes across as only medium-bodied in spite of the enormous concentration of citrus fruit, spice and wet stone minerality. Very pristine finish with a wonderful...

92 points Jasper Morris 91 points Wine Spectator"Rich, round and stitched together with ripe cherry and raspberry fruit, this fluid red also delivers leafy vegetal and spice notes, with hints of earth and oak spice. Lingers nicely on the finish. Best...

91 points Jasper Morris Jancis Robinson"Cask sample. Pale garnet. Slightly smudgy nose. Still quite chewy with fine tannins and marked but not excessive acidity. Needs time but should be a vigorous pleasurable drink eventually. 17/20 points...

98 points James Suckling"Such an exotic nose with a slew of passion fruit, mangosteen and King Alfonso mango. Compact and concentrated, but the more important things are the coolness and gracefulness of this moderately sweet Auslese that turns in a dark,...

92 points James Suckling"This opens with a lovely ripe-pear aroma and is generous and silky, then it turns drier and more spicy, splashing down in herbal and pepper aromas at the dry but by no means tart, long finish." 90 points Decanter"Intense nose of...
