Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Meursault Genevrieres bristles on the palate with intense minerality. It is the most intensely saline, taut Meursault in this lineup, and accordingly needs time in bottle to settle down. Vivid, crystalline fruit marks the huge, textured finish. The Genevrieres is wonderfully complete and..

"The 2002 Brut La Grande Annee is marvelous. The 2002 is an understated Grande Annee that caresses the palate with layers of effortless, weightless fruit. The mousse is exceptionally fine, which adds to the impression of total elegance. This is a relatively bright, floral Grande Annee with plenty..

"The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..

"This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..

"A restrained, cool and elegant nose is quite broad in its aromatic spectrum with notes of citrus, stone, spice, wood, apple and white rose petal. The intense, muscular and overtly powerful big-bodied flavors brim with dry extract as well as plenty of minerality on the explosively long, dry and..

"I had very high expectations for the 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart and was not disappointed. Actually, that is an understatement. The 2002 is a flat-out great Dom Ruinart... Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with no end in this subtle, sexy Dom Ruinart... The 2002 convinces for its..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Possibly the best dry white the estate has produced since the proprietors, the Cathiards, acquired the property in 1990, this wine exhibits a sensational fragrance of buttered citrus, honeyed melons and a touch of grapefruit, lemon zest and orange rind. It also displays grapefruit on the attack and..

"Resplendent in its new shiny gold label, Krug is a majestic Champagne. Its velvet texture, dominated by mature flavors, is toasty and rich, dense and complex. In the mouth, its beautiful roasted almond, spice and ripe pears all balance impressively. Could the wine be getting even better? No..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Light, bright gold. Spicy citrus and pit fruits on the nose, complicated by ginger, toasted grain and a touch of honey. A sappy, somewhat hefty Champagne whose juicy pear, peach and candied orange flavors are lifted by gentle acidity. The pear and orange notes repeat on the nicely persistent,..

JS: "This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel. Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. This is fantastic. From the former head and part owner of Yquem."
