2009 DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER ROUGE PESSAC

97 points James Suckling"Aromas of blueberries and lemon rind. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and bright fruity finish. Refined and beautiful. Layered wine. Pure fruit. Gravelley. Stoney. So classy and complex. Try in 2020." (12/2012) 95...

2013 LEOVILLE POYFERRE ST-JULIEN

Karen MacNeil "Imagine eating milk chocolate candy bars your whole life and then someone gives you a piece of intense, 80 percent cacao dark chocolate. A whole new sensory universe opens in the chocolate center of your brain. That's how I've felt about...

2013 SAINT AUBIN CHARMOIS J-M MOREY

90 points Burghound Jancis Robinson"Delicate creamy citrus nose, then dense and full of flavour on the palate – a hint of smoky struck match but the fruit is full and creamy on the mid palate. Deliciously generous in the mouth, long and fresh...

2014 COS D'ESTOURNEL ST-ESTEPHE

Karen MacNeil"Cos, as it is known (the s is pronounced), is indisputably one of the most distinctive Bordeaux. In great years it has an exotic, earthy, you-just-opened-a-humidor sensuality to its aroma (not unlike Chateau Haut-Brion), but the...

2014 GEVREY CHAMBERTIN ROTY

Jancis Robinson"Very aromatic for a Roty wine. And round, fruity and accessible. 17/20 points." (1/2017)

2015 BEAUSEJOUR BECOT ST-EMILION

96 points Wine Enthusiast"This family-owned property at one of the high points in Saint-Émilion has made a rich, opulent wine, full of perfumed Cabernet Franc and generous Merlot. Ripe blackberries and dark plums are permeated with some...

2015 CHAMBOLLE BUSSIERES V.V. ANNE ET HERVE SIGAUT

91 points Burghound "Here too there is a discreet but not invisible touch of wood setting off the equally fresh nose that consists of a mix of both red and blue pinot fruit, plum and again soft spice wisps. There is excellent punch to the sappy and...

2015 COUTET BARSAC

95-97 points Wine Enthusiast"The wine is ripe yet stylish and pure. It has a great balance between bright acidity and rich fruitiness. It is a very fine wine with great aging potential, as it hints at the more opulent future to come. (RV)"...

2015 GEVREY AU CLOSEAU DROUHIN-LAROZE

90-92 points Allen Meadows - Burghound"This is also exuberantly fresh and bright with its ripe but cool aromas of slightly more deeply pitched dark currant, raspberry and plenty of earth and humus nuances. There is a lovely mouth feel to the sleek...

2015 LAFON ROCHET ST-ESTEPHE

95 points Wine Enthusiast"Château Lafon Rochet 2015 Saint-Estèphe. A sinuous line of tannins runs through this structured wine. It lifts the dark plum and berry fruits and give shape to the spicy, firm wine. As the estate builds in...

2015 MEURSAULT NARVAUX BALLOT-MILLOT

Jancis Robinson"Really quite rich and very sumptuous when tasted immediately after the Girardin wines. Lots of jewelly sweetness. Fun and rich. Good balance. Pure pleasure. Great balance. 17/20 points. GV"

2015 ROC DE CAMBES COTES DE BOURG

90-92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2015 Roc des Cambes has an incredibly pure bouquet that is as much Côtes de Nuits as Côtes de Bourg! Wonderful cassis mixed with dark cherries and a touch of bergamot. The palate is very...

2015 TALBOT ST-JULIEN

94 points James Suckling"A big, rich wine for St. Julien with plenty of power and concentration, which enables it to carry plenty of spicy and toasty oak. The tannins need some time to soften, but the elegant finish says that from 2020 this should...

2015 VOLNAY SANTENOTS BALLOT-MILLOT

Jancis Robinson"Intense and smoky nose. Sweet start with lots of chew. Correct and probably worth waiting for. 17/20 points. GV"

ALBERT MANN, Albert Mann Riesling Cuvee Albert 2016

92 points Jeb Dunnuck "The 2016 Riesling Cuvee Albert is a vineyard selection, from mostly limestone parcel, and is made as a homage to Albert Mann. This racy, lively Riesling offers lots of citrus, white flowers, tangerine and salty mineral-like...

ALBERT MANN, Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2016

94 points Vinous"Vivid straw-green. Complex aromas of lemon, apple, minerals and smoke. Very closed and tight on the palate, but at once powerful and ripe, offering saline, fresh citrus and smoky flavors. Finishes long, classically dry (6 g/L...

Allimant-Laugner, Muscat d’Alsace 2015

90 points Wine Enthusiast"Hints of honeysuckle are very restrained on the nose. The palate is dry and shaped by rounded lemony freshness and hints of zesty spice. This is wonderfully light and deeply aromatic, but not obviously so. A wonderfully subtle...

Andezon, Cotes Du Rhone, 2016

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate   "Long-time American readers should already know this wine, as it has been a staple in the Eric Solomon portfolio for more than a decade. The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Andezon is 100% Syrah, aged entirely in...

Andre Brunel, Cotes du Rhone 2016

Vinous Reverie NotesThe Grenache expresses exuberance of red fruit roundness and of tannins. The Syrah and the Cinsault bring structure and elegance. Maceration takes place over 20 to 30 days. With rack-and-return and punching-down of the cap daily...

Antonin, CdR Villages Plan de Dieu 2016

Barmes-Buecher, Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes 2009

Jancis Robinson"100% destemmed, aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels. From a single 0.36 ha site in the Hengst grand cru. 1,700 bottles produced. Packaged in a very swanky wooden box. Mid garnet with better colour depth than you associate...

Besserat de Bellefon, Blanc de Blanc NV

92 points Wine Enthusiast"This mineral-textured wine is taut and tense. Crisp citrus and sliced-apple flavors are lifted by a touch of honey, balanced with lines of pure acidity and great poise and elegance. The bottling is young and will be better...

Bila Haut Lesquerda Cotes du Rous Villages 2014

91-93 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate“I loved the 2014 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde l’Esquerda and this blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache comes from one of the most exciting terroirs in the Roussillon: the decomposed...

Billecart-Salmon, Brut Réserve NV

92 points James Suckling "This has impressive ripe stone fruits on the nose with peaches, mangoes, melon and cherries. Really upbeat and attractive purity. The palate follows the same thread of fruit characters with a clever balance of flesh and...
