Same as last year. A fuller version when compared to the 2017, but quite flavorful and fun. Lemon and white melon notes play well with a faint infusion of vanilla and white rock. Super smooth but…
Struck matchstick reduction dominates, with lemon drop, cantaloupe rind, and white peach pushing to get attention. Broad shouldered and slightly clunky right now; unresolved and looking to find a…
Not a bad little monkey for what it advertises. Green apple flesh, unripe pear, and yellow citrus notes present as promised on the front end and skirt across the palate with enough oomph that it…
Bright and fresh lemon juice, citrus spray, and wet limestone notes present in a clean and semi-succulent delivery (succulent by Louis Michel standards). Compared to the wound tight and somewhat…
From the same stable as the Domaine Pinson harem, this version is bright and clean, with a pure delivery of yellow citrus and white melon rind flavors that are accessible and friendly. Energy and…
Quintessential Chablis, with lemon and white stone notes encircled by citrus zest, white melon rind, unripe green pear, and lemon verbena. Perfect zip and energy with a finish that outclasses its…
Don't worry, I speak Burgundy: A top-shelf Puligny-Montrachet that face-plants into a fresh patch of blooming Iberean white oleanders while sucking on an acid popsicle of fresh squeezed lemon juice…
Still pretty spun up and primary. Linear shots of green apple skin don't expand much into anything especially deep or complex. This is a high quality, pure, and refreshing wine in its current state,…
This punches way above its class, illustrating why the Vincent Dauvissat name is so heralded for its top-shelf Chablis. The fact that this Petit Chablis carries the levels of concentration,…
Enjoyable, agreeable, and all that friendly handshaking kind of stuff. It's yellow, it's lemony, it's what you would expect from a base model Chardonnay. I did not find it as particularly interesting…
Starts out with lemon drop and lemon square succulence, but quickly becomes noticeably angular on the finish. After extended aeration, a gummy saccharine texture coats the palate. There is goodness…
Continues to impress. For the price and its class, this little Chablis is stupid good in 2017. It's got zip and acid, lemony succulence, and enough tension and intensity to hold the whole package…
Yellow, white, and green citrus notes, with a spunky entry of lemon-lime zest, wet white rock, unripe white peach, seafoam, and hints of vanillin oak. Worthy of its 1er cru designation, with medium…
At the French Laundry. A solid producer from a solid site makes for a worthy Meursault and a perfect complement to the food. Succulent yellow citrus, spritely green, yellow, and white stone fruit,…
At the French Laundry. Lemon seed, yellow and white citrus, and chalk flavors dart from the glass, with a linear, Pinot Grigio-esque profile that is leaner than what I typically want from a 1er P-M.…
At the French Laundry. An invigorating and lively example of Sauvignon Blanc. I have enjoyed this wine on a number of previous occasions and each time it delivers a complex and captivating array of…
FRESH GRAPEFRUIT! ...with lemon-lime, guava, clementine, white flowers, and dry grass notes all making for a compelling Sauvignon Blanc. Year in and year out, Sam Kaplan crafts an exceptional…
Lemon curd, pie crust, vanilla bean, and a touch of dried apricot notes make for an affable delivery of flavor that kick-out mouthwatering essences drawing you in for another sip. Though the wood…
Juicy yellow citrus flavors are complimented by a nice touch of oak that offer measured succulence and an excellent mouthfeel. This stays in a very nice lane, with focus and the delineation of its…
I've spat out a bunch of information on this wine already, but I continue to go back to it every time even though I know it needs time to become even more complex. Still, this is a refreshing Chablis…
A much more poised and refreshing bottle than the last visit I had with this wine. Depth and bass tone penetration is achieved successfully in part because it has the upper elevation citrus zest and…
Take all the notes I just wrote on the 2018 Chardonnay and add an extra layer of delectableness - without sacrificing all of the harmonious zing and energy brought about by the otherwise Burgundian…
On the nose, you think you are in for a creamy and succulent California Chardonnay just waiting to slather your palate with lemon curd gooeyness. But surprise on you silly domestic switcheroo boy,…
Kiwi and lime notes lead the charge, with a secondary rush of lemon and quince flavors rounding-out the profile. A very suave rendition of Sauvignon Blanc, with notable texture and a silky mouthfeel.…
