Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Moderate reduction knocks the nose down and renders it difficult to properly evaluate though there are no such issues with the rich, generous and solidly voluminous middle weight flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate sap before ending in a delicious and lightly mineral-infused finish. This..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..

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
"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..
