Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bold, direct and voluptuous. Nectarines, honey, flowers and spices all wrap around the palate in this big generous Charmes. A vein of minerality runs through the fruit, giving the wine its sense of energy and proportion. In 2010, the Charmes is especially rich, layered and unctuous." WA

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An elegant, pure and airy nose features cool aromas of white peach, pear, stone and floral elements. There is excellent intensity and punch to the mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating sap on the bone dry and citrus infused finish. This is terrific."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Another showstopper, the 2010 Meursault Genevrieres is uncommonly rich and voluptuous for Genevrieres. Deep, resonant layers of fruit nearly manage to bury the wine-s considerable minerality. The 2010 is a totally intense, seamless Meursault with no hard edges and exceptional balance. Today it is..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A deft touch of wood sets off pungent green fruit, pear, lemon rind, stone and lime/grapefruit hints. There is excellent size, weight and concentration to the mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors that terminate in a chiseled finish of crystalline purity. This is really impressive but note well..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright hints of lemon, pears, pastry, white flowers and mint are beautifully woven together. This is a round, sensual Champagne that can be enjoyed now or cellared. Today it is firing on all cylinders, even if it is very young. The 2003 Amour de Deutz is 100% Chardonnay... Anticipated maturity:..

"Shows fine density, even a slight astringency. Ripe apple and peach flavors are rich and persistent, with vanilla and mineral notes emerging on the finish. The long, expansive finish reveals its potential. Best from 2008 through 2018. 4,000 cases made. –BS"

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Marechale Blanc shows off fabulous balance and cool, insistent minerality. It boasts tremendous energy in its chiseled notes of lemon, crushed rocks and white flowers. The aromas, flavors and minerality are pure Chardonnay but there is a breadth to the wine..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Dont' miss: An elegant and impressively layered nose features notes of lemon, lime, stone, floral and green apple aromas. The full-bodied flavors are concentrated, powerful and muscular with plenty of size and weight yet for all of the size, there is nary a trace of undue heaviness or..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very mild trace of reduction sits atop otherwise pure and attractive aromas of acacia blossom, stone and lightly spiced pear. The rich but well-detailed flavors possess almost painful intensity while terminating in an explosive and bone dry finish that exudes a sense of classiness. There is a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The first thing that is evident about the 2000 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is its finesse and total silkiness. The 2000 is a rich, creamy and deeply expressive Winston Churchill. I don’t see the 2000 being an especially long-term ager, but it is wonderfully radiant and open today. Hints of..
