95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a touch more complex as well as precise. Stone fruits, white flowers, spicy oak, and a kiss of chalky minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, elegant, layered mouthfeel, flawless balance, and a great finish. It shows the balanced, complete, incredibly impressive style of the 2021 vintage beautifully." (08/2024) 93 points Vinous: "The 2021 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a classy, polished wine.

This vibrant Chardonnay is the work of Burgundy natives (and winemaking masters) Sylvain and Nathalie Langoureau. The duo is the fifth generation to work the family vines surrounding the hamlet of Gamay, and this organic wine is made with partial oak and stainless steel fermentation and aging. A stellar value, it is compact and tense with energy to spare and classic Chardonnay flavors of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, and cream.

89-91 points Burghound: "Note: mostly from Fuissé fruit with the addition of a small percentage of Vergisson. Subtle if still easily perceptible oak sets off ripe and fresh aromas of essence of pear, citrus confit and pretty floral nuances. There is excellent energy to the appealingly precise medium weight flavors that deliver solid length on the bitter zest-inflected finish. This could use better depth but the potential aging curve should allow for that to occur." (10/2023) 91 points Jasper Morris: "Frédéric has been trying to bring the Château blend ...
95 points Decanter: "Finca La Emperatriz is situated close to the borders of the Rioja appellation, in one of the coolest areas in the whole region. So much so that a little bit more to the west, vine cultivation is not feasible. It is also at relatively high altitude – almost 600m – which is particularly beneficial for white grape varieties. Grapes for this wine are Viura from poor soils, which were cool-macerated before crushing. Partly fermented and aged in barrels, partly in concrete vats, with lees contact, for 10 months before bottle ageing. Pedro ...

A mainstay in Burgundy decade after decade, Paul Pernot measures the time in vintage after vintage of excellence. From the importer: "Paul Pernot has run the domaine since 1955 and now his three sons are assisting him. They own 19 hectares of fantastic vineyards in the Cote de Beaune, but sell a vast majority of it to negociants, including Drouhin. The 20% or so that they bottle themselves are pure, elegant and delicious representations of their best parcels. While most wines see some new oak and they only use barrels for three years, he bottles early in...

In 1973, Daniel Dugois bought two hectares of vineyard and a house equipped with wine cellars in a village called Les Arsures, where he was born. He cultivated the vineyard and sold his production primarily to Henri Maire, one of the most prominent producers in Jura at that time. In 1982, Daniel made his first harvest in his own cellars and began to sell his wines to consumers. His first-ever harvest earned him his first Gold Medal for his Chardonnay at the Jura Wine Contest. Daniel and his wife Monique have continued to work on the quality of their wine...

This is a dynamite Sauvignon Blanc from a 5th-generation family-owned estate. Named for the region's famed silex soils, this bottling is lean and structured with wonderful notes of citrus, crystalline minerality, and lively acidity.
93 points Decanter: "Appealing and fresh, with an intriguing whiff of white pepper (à la Grüner Veltliner). Plenty of weight here and very nice purity. A rather different take, would be great to enjoy with food. Crisp, zesty finish. (CC)" (10/2023) 90-92 points Jasper Morris: "This comes from a steep south-facing section of the vineyard, known as La Côte. No wood has been used. A little more yellow colour. This shows ripeness, with a bit of liquorice, but has retained all its saline vigour, even a touch reductive. Very good length. Accessible but all i...

94 points Vinous: "The 2013 Chardonnay emerges from the Upper Barn parcel on Alexander Mountain Estate that also informs one of the Stonestreet Chardonnays. Ample, broad and creamy, with tons of mountain structure, the 2013 exudes class and polish. Honey, butter, orange peel and exotic floral notes blossom effortlessly in the glass. Subtle and yet powerful, the 2013 is marvelously complete, yet it also needs time to peak." K&L Notes: Legacy was a luxury brand created alongside Stonestreet in 1990 to showcase the finest and most age worthy wines from thi...

Good tension, with lemon and lime, a little youthful bitterness, very promising in its classical Vaucoupin style. Drink from 2026-2032. " (01/2024) 93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Chablis Vaucoupin 1er Cru has potent sea scents on the nose and a tang of shucked oyster shells.

Absolutely superb! Stands alone in style, because of its terroir. I think it is the clarity of the finish and the lack of sucrosity which really impresses. Drink from 2026-2035."

Vitallis is a new "hidden gem" our buyers found in the Mâcon, where small producers fly under the radar. In classic Burgundian fashion, the Dutron family has been growing vines since 1835, and now owns some of the oldest and best parcels in the village of Fuissé in the Pouilly-Fuissé district. In the glass, the wines live up to the hype.

93 points Decanter: "A wonderfully complex wine with ample texture. The Sta Rita Hills Cuvée is sourced from some of Santa Barbara's top Chardonnay sites. The wine sees very little new oak and, as a result, shines forth with delicate brilliance—classically cool climate Chardonnay aromatics of soft white florals, crushed chalk and a touch of mint. The palate has verve and energy with savoury petrichor-driven minerality coming to the fore, followed on by bruised apples, a touch of cardamom and honey to finish adding depth and complexity along the way.

Fermented in stainless steel and aged in concrete eggs for more texture, this is very much a coastal wine, with sea breeze salinity, a hint of fennel and beeswax and a focused, mineralrich core."

The outstanding 2021 vintage delivers yet again, providing laser-like precision, pure limey fruit and sapidity. There's wonderful tension here between the fresh lime juice and blossom notes and the porcelain-like acid structure. Light phenolics add gentle texture and luff its sails but then that lip-smacking acidity powers through finishing crisp, dry and limey."

93 points Decanter: "Lightly honeyed pear aromas lead to a full and flowing palate that’s satin textured. Has a feeling of freshness and purity, rolling on to a soft finish. A really lovely expression of Roussanne, the acidity is quite low but it feels authentic in its balance. (MW) " (09/2023) K&L Notes: Guy Farge took over the management of his family estate in 1980.

Composed of Chardonnay sourced from Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard along with fruit from neighboring Beckstoffer Vineyards in Napa-Carneros, and Sangiacomo Vineyards located in Sonoma-Carneros. Tasting notes from the winery: "This wine is a testament to the Carneros region, brimming with Meyer lemon, yellow apple, and salted butterscotch notes. Concentrated layers of spices and creamy vanilla meld with well-integrated oak and elegant waves of fresh acidity on the palate."

90-93 points Burghound: "Pretty and more elegant aromas include those of the hallmark floral scents that are nuanced by hints of essence of pear, star anise and markedly more moderate wood influence. The dense and unusually powerful and even opulent larger-bodied flavors exude evident minerality on the sappy, refined, agreeably dry and youthfully austere finale.

It was aged for 12 months in used French oak and comes in at 12.6% alcohol. Big, burly and powerful, this alternates tannins and acidity. Like most orange wines, it is not really a normal white, showing more power and sometimes feeling more like a red. It does have an orange tinge too. This is something that probably should be drunk a bit warmer than most whites, but it alw...

94 points Wine Advocate: "In 2020, the Garnacha Blanca suffered from frost, so the 2020 Blanco is unusual as it's 100% Viura from old vines intermixed in the vineyards with the reds. It's serious, austere and mineral, with a lively palate, vibrant with very good freshness and acidity (pH 3.1, without malolactic). It's has a little Burgundian accent, but it's clearly Riojan. 2,600 bottles were filled (LG)" (07/2022) 94 points Tim Atkin: "Volumes were reduced by hail in 2020, unfortunately, so there will be less to go around.

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Legacy used to be a part of Stonestreet, but today is its own label. The 2016 Chardonnay is terrific and comes from higher elevation sites in Alexander Valley. It was aged 11 months in 31% new French oak. With a mix of Old World/New World style in its buttered orchard fruits, citrus blossom, charcoal, and melon aromas and flavors, it's medium to full-bodied, has good concentration, and its bright acidity keeps everything fresh, focused, and tight. This gorgeously textured 2016 needs 2-4 years of cellaring and will drink nicely ove...

95 points Wine & Spirits: "Inocente is Valdespino’s flagship, a wine from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, where the soil is pure white albariza. It ferments in 600-liter wooden casks without added yeasts, a practice that has become increasingly rare in Jerez. The intensity of the wine’s salinity is remarkable—iodine and salt—coming together with ripe white fruit, scents of nuts and exotic spices. The structure is dry and austere, like drinking the juice of stones. This will last for a decade in the cellar, but it’s impossible to hold onto a bottle if there...
