Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Proprietor Berenice Lurton continues to turn out one of the utterly profound wines from the Barsac Sauternes region…a beautiful wine and stands out as one of the top wines of 2006. Medium gold, with a slightly more advanced color than I am used to seeing in a young Climens, the wine displays waxy..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2011 Meursault has a fragrant, ripe, full fruited bouquet which is confirmed on the palate. The generous, supple texture and the distinctive hazelnut and spice nuances carry into a persistent finish of great finesse. ..

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

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Once again, the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet is beautiful. It captures the more refined side of the village in its subtle layers of perfumed, gracious fruit. This is a gorgeous wine at the village level, and one of the very finest relative values in white Burgundy. White floral notes wrap around the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pretty nose of white flower, pear and stone. There is excellent detail and verve to the finely delineated and pure medium-bodied flavors that possess good depth on the reasonably dry and solidly persistent finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Francois Villard is a true master of Condrieu. If you enjoy a rich and complex white, don’t miss this one. Shows ripe, almost gutsy notes of marmalade and apricot, but stays fresh and racy, with peach pit, bitter almond and star fruit notes coursing through the long, mouthwatering finish.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Captivating nose combines orange juice, white peach, quinine and crushed rock, all lifted by pepperminty high tones. Sweet but not overly so, with harmonious acidity giving energy and shape to the rich stone fruit and citrus flavors. Generous, tactile and long on the back end. Suppler and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Chateau de Maltroye is a wonderfully restored bourgeois house. Built in the 18th century over the burnt-out ruin of a previous (15th century) building; the beautiful vaulted cellars date from that older house. The only parallels in Burgundy to such a house – immaculately and artistically..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The Sigalas-Rabaud has a well defined nose: grapefruit, nectarine, honey and lime, much more primal than some of the other 2009s. The palate is very well balanced with excellent acidity: apricot, honeysuckle, a touch of orange zest and then vibrant white peach bursting across the finish with lime..
