93 points Burghound"A ripe yet still reasonably typical nose reflects notes of lemon confit, white flowers, oyster shell and seashore nuances. The sleek, intense and delineated flavors possess good vibrancy on the notably more refined if not quite as...

Vinous Reverie NotesThis terrific Cremant is a blend of third each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Aligote, all from around Pouilly-Fuisse in the Macon. This estate is owned and managed by the jubilant Marie-Pierre Manciat, who represents the 5th...

Vinous Reverie NotesThe Ventoux region is quite massive, with a deluge of mediocre bulk wines. But, there are parts that possess incredible terroir. In the northern section of the appellation rise the peaks of the Dentelles de Montmirail. On the...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck“This estate makes a brilliant white, and their 2020 Château Couhins Blanc is pure gold, offering a bright citrus and lemon zest core as well as lots of white flowers and honeyed mineral-like nuances. Medium-bodied,...

93 points John Gilman, View from the Cellar"The Gadais family’s Domaine de la Tourmaline is located in the Cru village of Saint Fiacre. Their 2021 Muscadet is outstanding on both the nose and palate, with the beautifully maritime bouquet hopping...

92+ points Wine Advocate"The 2022 Tavel Cuvee des Lys appears a bit lighter in the glass than the Trinite bottling; the blend is 60% Grenache, 30% Clairette and 10% Syrah. Scents of crushed stone, citrus and strawberries appear on the nose, while the...

Vinous Reverie NotesThe Crochet name is synonymous with the town of Bue, one of the three greatest villages in Sancerre. Domaine Dominique et Janine Crochet is a younger - only second generation - estate in the tiny village of Crezancy (500 residents)...

92 points John Gilman, View from the Cellar"The Legrand family have been winegrowers in Saumur since the seventeenth century, but Clotilde Legrand became the first female vigneronne in her family when she took over the reins of the family estate in 2014...

93 points Vinous"The 2021 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is a field blend of clones 95 and 76. It is one of the richest Chardonnays in this range, much of which can be attributed to low yields in heavily virused wines. Dried pear, chamomile, crushed...

95 points Wine Spectator"Very expressive, with singed bay, sweet tapenade and singed juniper notes leading off, followed by gently mulled cherry, plum and raspberry fruit flavors. Juniper note streaks through the fruit on the finish, with a long sanguine...

92 points Decanter"A very complete and harmonious nose. Medium-bodied but full of flavour, driven forward by lovely bright acidity. Finishes pure, clean and fresh. Also contains 15% Viognier and 5% Bourboulenc. Hand harvested, no malolactic." Vinous...
