France Burgundy

96 pts. James Suckling A very classic Corton-Charlemagne that’s very powerful, but very cool and fresh with a super mineral personality. Concentrated but finely etched palate with great acidity that drives the very long, stony finish. Better from 2021.

91 points - Wine Enthusiast This village Chassagne-Montrachet is structured as well as fruity. Its mineral edge balances with apple and bright citrus fruits giving the wine freshness and a distinct texture. Drink the wine from 2020.

Pale shiny gold. Very expressive on the nose with fresh, sharp aromas supported by floral notes, a superb but very mellow oak presence and a hint of fresh hazelnuts. The palate has a lovely structure and balance, with fresh floral aromas as well as hints of white peach and minerality. A wine of great precision.

94 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Bottled only a week before I tasted it, Alain Coudert's 2019 Fleurie from the Clos de la Roilette is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of rose petals, red cherries, raspberries, spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, it's elegant and fine-boned, with lively acids, refined structuring tannins and a long,...

Gilbert & Gaillard tasting notes - Limpid crimson with dark purple tints. Pleasurable nose of red fruits and bush peach with a crisp note. Tense, dynamic palate with focused, precise fruit coupled with refined spice and supported by elegant tannins. Hint of mineral austerity.

This 100% domaine wine comes from the Macon village of Uchizy in southern Burgundy. It is a fresh and juicy unoaked Chardonnay, with layers of apple, citrus and earth. Crisp and clean with a refreshing finish and a touch of mineral. Outstanding White Burgundy value!

Winemaker Notes Domaine du Colombier Chablis Petit Chablis comes from Chardonnay grapes grown in the AOC Chablis vineyards, with south-south east exposure; the wine during vinification sees only steel. This is a bright, crisp wine with a pretty lemon, limestone and slightly floral nose. The palate is citrusy, mostly lemon backed up with some peach, green apple and more minerality. Good developing...

Winemaker Notes Deep ruby red in color with notes of fresh red fruits and spice on the nose. This wine is a pleasure to drink thanks to its smooth, fruity attack and delicate, silky tannins. This well-balanced and intensely aromatic wine will win over wine experts and amateurs alike.

Deep cherry colour with garnet highlights. Bouquet of small red and black fruits (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) and flowers (violet). The body is ample and discreetly tannic and the fruit remains present. Roundness, volume, power and balance are all here, and in just the right proportions. 'Les Serpentieres' vineyard

94 pts Wine Enthusiast From one of the top producers in Morgon, this bottling combines great terroir and old vines to give a wine that has so much structure. The dry core is still keeping the fruit in check, waiting to let it burst out in blackberry glory. Let this wine age and drink from 2022.

2018 vintage 93 pts. Wine Spectator Expressive, revealing purity to its cherry, strawberry and currant fruit. It's all about finesse, the silky texture and harmony. Floral, mineral and tobacco elements chime in as it plays out on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2038.

Winemaker Notes Golden yellow with green hue. The bouquet shows intense passion fruit notes as well as stones warmed by the sun. In the mouth, the wine shows a good balance between freshness and an elegant minerality.

Description & Tasting : The color is gold with fairly deep hints of green, Macon-Vinzelles wine is dry, full bodied and warm as well as fruity with a floral and vegetal nose. It retains all its charm if drunk within two or three years of being harvested.

91 points - Wine Enthusiast A touch of licorice enlivens the smoky, oaky nose on this wine, supporting a brooding note of elderberry. The palate comes in with juiciness, portraying plump, aromatic dark fruit reminiscent of fleshy black cherry. Ripe tannins have that soft but distinct corduroy grip and the wine comes together beautifully.

Vinepair review - This wine is great and represents the best of easy Parisian bistro wine. It’s a simple and punchy juice bomb, with a whiff of pepper, and a slight grip on the palate. Drinking this wine without a slight chill should result in a fine. Throw this in the fridge for twenty or thirty minutes, and sip it cool with some fromage et charcuterie.

Chardonnay

92 points Wine Enthusiast The smooth, vanilla-scented resonance of oak lays itself like balm on this wine's lemony nose. On the palate, the oak, creaminess and lemon freshness come together as a harmonious trinity, each holding its own with poise. There's depth and freshness too.
