96 points Decanter"The 300-metre rows in the domaine's 4ha of Champans run from the top to the bottom of the slope, taking in both brown and red soils. The result is a very complete, self-assured expression of the premier cru, showing the focus and...

96 points Wine Spectator"Elegant and approachable, this stunning red offers seductive aromatics of smoked incense and red tea, with floral high notes, followed by a well of cassis, licorice and red currant flavors coated in graphite. Dusty in feel, with...

98+ points Jeb Dunnuck"On another level, the 2019 Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc is more reductive and tight, with a brilliant, concentrated, full-bodied, layered profile on the palate. White currants, quinces, scorched earth, and charcoal all define this...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"This is the nonvintage Champagne from this producer. With its richness and high percentage of Pinot Noir, it reflects the house style. Touches of spice and a light structure give shape to the white fruits. Drink now."94...

Vinous Reverie NotesAnyone looking for the best houses in the Sancerre region will sooner or later come across the brothers Clément and Florent Pinard. They are 15 generations old and experienced winemakers. The winery is named after the brothers'...

93 points Wine & Spirits"Moncuit’s wines are all from single villages and single years—this one from the family’s parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and the 2016 vintage. Fermented spontaneously in stainless steel, it is markedly tense...

91 points Vinous"Ruby-red. Aromas of ripe red and dark berries, pungent flowers and smoky minerals and a hint of "garrigue' in the background. Juicy, supple and concentrated, offering energetic black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors supported by tangy...

98 points James Suckling"Nervy and tight with notes of crushed almonds, chalk, white grapefruit, digestive biscuits, lemons and apricot stones. Hints of fennel and white pepper. Deep and mineral, with plenty of power. Very fine bubbles. Long drive at the...

98 points James Suckling"Complex meaty and spicy nose. This effortlessly marries the wild and refined sides of this Grand Cru! The fruit character stands on a mighty tower of tannins that are at once fine and slightly herbal. What an amazingly...

95 points Vinous"The 2022 Le Mont Sec is a parcel of Chenin planted on clay with scattered flint, giving a certain tension to the style you certainly don't find in the come-hither Clos du Bourg. Its supple, concentrated core of fruit sits within a...
