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..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Pronounced nutty piquancy and wet stone in the nose as well as on the palate here mingle with smoky snuffed candle wick and black tea; quince and white peach...this Clos du Papillon grips so authoritatively and combines such a sense of stuffing and stone without becoming heavy or bitter than..

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
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"

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A restrained to the point of almost being mute nose reluctantly offers notes of green fruit and mineral reduction that precede broad-shouldered, robust and imposingly concentrated flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract, all wrapped in a terrifically long, intense and deep..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very fresh, clean and pure nose of ripe pear, white peach and floral aromas introduces rich, delicious and solidly well-concentrated flavors that culminate in a racy, detailed and lightly mineral-inflected finish. I very much like the underlying sense of tension here as well as the fine balance...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A tight, racy style, showing citronella, green apple and floral notes, with plenty of energy. Ends with a mouthwatering impression and an aftertaste of mineral."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A ripe, fresh and impressively layered nose speaks of both white and yellow orchard fruit that complements well the rich, generous and lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess enough dry extract such that the palate impression is sappy yet firm and lingering."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A plethora of ripe orchard fruit, in particular peach and apricot, is trimmed in grilled toast notes. The rich, round and succulent flavors possess plenty of mid-palate fat before terminating in a mildly exotic and ever-so-slightly naturally sweet finish. This is really quite pretty if a bit..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very tight green flavors, herbaceous, with lively fresh fruits, but restrained into a taut, mineral jacket."
