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...

95 points Decanter"Concentrated nose of hedgerow fruit and violets. Intense on the palate with dark fruit and big, ripe tannins. Finishes long with a backbone of acidity." Vinous Reverie NotesEtienne Baldes planted his first vineyards at Clos Triguedina...

95 points James Suckling"This compact and concentrated Morgon makes a bold statement. Lots of savory, plus hints of wet earth and bark on the well-rounded, medium-bodied palate. The best thing about the wine is the complex, firm and earthy finish that...

96 points James Suckling"The fantastic nose of forest berries with undertones of forest floor pulls you inexorably into this medium- to full-bodied Morgon beauty. Excellent concentration, with stacks of very fine tannins that give this serious...

94 points James Suckling"Impressive wild-blackberry fruit with touches of wild herbs and candied orange. The medium-bodied palate is very elegant and structured with plenty of dried-herb and wet-earth character. Very long, stony finish with clove and...

Vinous Reverie NotesThis is the part of Gigondas where the vineyards are in the high “saddle” that is on the other side of the Dentelle above the village. A very rocky terrain from the millions of years of rocks that have tumbled down into...

Jancis Robinson"Full bottle 1,603 g. 70% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay from Vallée de la Marne, 10% Meunier from Coteaux Campenoise. Base wine from 2019. Disgorged May 2023. Dosage 2 g/l.A deep red-pink wine with a beautiful nose of plums and peonies...
