Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Chantemerle’s 2011 Chablis Fourchaume is gorgeous. It shows no hard edges in expressing the personality of the year and its origins. The Fourchaume is a bit more floral, lifted and refined than the straight Chablis. A hint of sweet white peaches wraps around the inviting finish. This is shaping up..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A delicious white with apple pie, honey, mangos and hints of other tropical fruits. Full body, with bright acidity and a rich and delicious finish. All here."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Fully mature, with a creamy, fresh butter edge to its peach, plantain, almond and melon notes. Lush finish has a lightly nutty edge but stays pure and defined, with hints of heather and beeswax. A lovely example of the mature style."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 St. Aubin is gorgeous. Smoke, slate and spices frame an expressive core of yellow stone fruits. This is another textured, open 2010 from Jadot. Seemingly endless layers of fruit stain the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. Rich, textured and creamy, the 2010 can be enjoyed today or..

"Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair. Dry, steely and crisp in acidity, it shows vast tropical fruit, orange, vanilla, honey and buttered toast flavors..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pale gold. Pungent, exotic aromas of passion fruit, peach skin, smoky minerals and wild herbs. Dense, broad and penetrating, offering sappy, soil-driven flavors of orchard and pit fruits, crushed rock and honey, with a repeating smokiness. Deep and chewy on the finish, with the honey and smoke..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"White currants, honeyed citrus, and melons are present in this medium-bodied, richly fruity, slightly smoky white Graves. It should drink nicely for 5-7 years."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pale gold. Ripe pear, orange, creme brulee and ginger on the fragrant nose, with notes of vanilla bean and smoky lees adding complexity. Pliant but sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit flavors gain depth with air, picking up a deeper marzipan nuance. The pear and leesy notes carry through on..

RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
