Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This delicate white, displays notes of orchard blossom, candied lemon zest and tangerine, with a minerally subnote that builds toward the finish. Shows good concentration in a dry and elegant package, with a long, finely textured finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Reverdy’s 2011 Sancerre Cuvee Les Coutes delivers an almost sweet impression of lime and Persian melon garlanded with freesia and lily. Black currant, sage, and nettle add pungency to this very ripe melange... This generous, luscious 2011 finishes with outstanding, multifaceted length..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Beautifully pure, with salted butter, chamomile and quinine notes lacing up a core of creamed Jonagold apple and lanolin flavors. The long, creamy finish lets the chamomile edge play out elegantly."

"Chantemerle’s 2011 Chablis Fourchaume is gorgeous. It shows no hard edges in expressing the personality of the year and its origins.

"... 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
"Sniff it and you sense the complexity, definition and elegance. Good, tiny bubbles stream up steadily, bringing notes of chalk, candied fruit and caramel. In the mouth, it fills out across the palate with mixed flavors that show stone fruits, caramel and oily, slightly buttery nuts. Very..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Champagne displays a pure, pale gold color brightened with green accents, showing fine, generous bubbles and a delicate mousse. The elegant bouquet is perfumed with white flowers, which will, given time, evolve further to reveal notes of brioche and fresh butter. On the palate, the wine is..
