Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 2011 has a golden yellow colour with a bouquet of yellow fruits such as peaches, apricots and plums. Delicate notes of vanilla and toasted almonds complete this wine's nose. It is ample in the mouth and there are notes of yellow peaches again, accompanied by a subtle..

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
100% Chardonnay from extremely steep vineyards. Only natural yeast is used. A smoky, toasty nose followed by rich buttery aromas. Good mouthfeel on the palate with a rich creaminess, excellent balancing acidity and a very long finish. A stylish wine.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A great wine, much more than only a Champagne, this is impressively rich and ripe, with crisp yellow fruits, spices and layers of toast. It's in an opulent style that is round but also very focused on tight layers of fruit, minerality and final vivid acidity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"...opens with a delicate array of dried apricots, dried pears, and hazelnuts that come together in an elegant style. The mousse is quite polished, showing lovely detail and complexity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A blend of barrels taken by Nicolas Tari. A total of 46 barrels produced. This sample taken before any racking has taken place although there will probably be one in May (instead since the 2004 vintage, the wine rests upon its lees with batonnage dependent upon each barrel.) A more Semillon based..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This has a little more of a hard edge to it, in the form of oak tannins. Yet the core is rich and creamy, with plenty of apple, peach, citrus and spice flavors. Has great length. Just needs some time. Best from 2009 through 2020." August 2007

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Winemaker's Notes: "A refined wine, well appreciated in the whole world. A beautiful golden colour and a great aromatic palette: honey, linden flower ("tilleul"), hazelnut butter, sometimes even chamomile or hawthorn. On the palate, a silky roundness. Long on the aftertaste, with flavours of yellow..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
This is the most famous appellation of the southern Rhone and also one of the best-known in France and abroad. Its rise to fame goes back to the presence of the papal seat in Avignon from 1309 to 1376. It was Pope John XXII who developed the chateau, which is today in ruins.

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..
