94 points James Suckling"Striking note of fresh pomegranate and star fruit. Juicy and zesty with a blood orange freshness that is delightful to admire. Super-fresh finish with an energy that you wish could be put into batteries. The unfermented grape...

95 points Wine Spectator"A gorgeous Taurasi, with an up-front burst of ripe fruit -- black cherry, wild strawberry and black plum reduction -- expanding on the palate and transitioning to a savory range of minerally stone and smoke accents. Reveals...

92 points Vinous"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière 1er Cru has a very controlled and delineated bouquet, with citrus peel, petrichor and light apple blossom scents that gain vigor in the glass. The palate is...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck"A big, ripe, opulent, and sexy white, the 2021 Hermitage Blanc has honeyed orchard and quince-like fruit, medium to full body, some acacia flower and spicy nuances, a layered, decadent mouthfeel, and that rare mix of freshness and...

93 points Decanter"Richly biscuity on the nose, with steamed rice, fresh pear and citrus blossom complexity. Creamy mousse dissolves into red apple peel, lemon and stone fruits, with a depth of honeyed biscuits. The Reserve NV from Pol Roger is a blend...

Jancis Robinson"Complex and inviting aroma that has both bright citrus fruit and lovely leesy richness. But even with all that there is a nice stone-dust/mineral aspect to it. Lots going on here. Deep, creamy, zesty, the texture rounding out the acidity...

96 points James Suckling"Perfume and darkness meet in your glass. A fabulous village-level wine that's so suave and sensuous. Everything fits together so beautifully. Super-long and silky finish. A cuvee of wine from two separate plots, one in the...

97 points James Suckling"This dares to be super-elegant and refined for an appellation that's presumed to give only big and brawny wines, and he who dares wins. The red berry fruit is interwoven with smoke, earth and grilled artichokes. Sleek and...

94 points James Suckling"A tight and focused syrah with blackberries, blueberries, bark, spices, tar and grilled meat on both the nose and palate. It’s medium- to full-bodied with juicy fruit and a slightly chewy finish. Needs time to soften. From...
