2020

94 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch offers pretty scents of nutmeg, meringue, honeysuckle and baked yellow apples. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and energetic, with gently honeyed fruit and a long, flavorful finish." Vinous...

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 NotesLa Combe aux Moines or ‘The Monks Combe’ is one of the most northern vineyards in the appellation of Gevrey Chambertin bordering Les Cazetiers to the south. The 12 acre vineyard sits with an eastern exposure with soils of...

94 points Decanter"There are plenty of ripe black plum and fig aromas, with strong components of earth and leather. Despite all the ripeness here, the wine is still balanced. Winemaker Jérôme Flous says: 'It is not far from 2018, but the...

99 points Tim Atkin MW"Boekenhoutskloof has always made impressive, age-worthy Semillons, but Gottfried Mocke has taken 2020 to another level of complexity. Using grapes from three old parcels, planted in 1902, 1936, and 1942, with the largest...

Jancis Robinson"Full bottle 1,336 g. Broad, honeysuckle, clementine and spices on the nose. Juicy fruit, drawing from the clementine on the nose, adding Seville-orange zest, and the broad brushstroke of spice taking on the more precise flavours of...

Jancis Robinson"Cask sample. Mid crimson. Prettily scented with peony and red fruit. Classic Chambolle fragrance. On the palate, that floral and red-fruit character matches the aroma. Moderate intensity and plush texture. So approachable and better...

95 points Wine Enthusiast"A pure nose exuding perfectly ripe red fruit, enveloped by black plum, violet and green peppercorn. The palate is immediately greeted with a rush of acidity, rolling in a wave of black cherry, thyme stem, violets, iris, clove...

98 points Decanter"Here is one of the stars of this challenging vintage. A muscular wine, leading with tremendous freshness on the palate, restrained red-toned fruit, and very subtle yet elegant cedar wood intermixed with red-rock minerality. Medium to...

Jancis Robinson"100% Assyrtiko fermented over 21 days and then left on the lees, with malolactic conversion carried out. Diam closure. Empty bottle weight 500 g. Free SO2 32 mg/l, total SO2 84 mg/l, RS 0 g/l.Racy and fine and delightfully...

90 points Wine Spectator"A complex version, with apple, lemon, and oyster shell flavors shaded by a hint of oak. Succulent and balanced, with "drink me" appeal." Vinous Reverie NotesThe Grossots take great pride in their Chablis, which comes from very...

97 points James Suckling"This full-bodied red builds on the palate in a fantastic way with tight, compact tannins that grow and grow on the finish. Plenty of blackcurrant and graphite character and a flavorful finish. Same level as the excellent 2016...
