Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: A 2010 Moulin-a-Vent Clos de Rochegres originates in the high-elevation site that is by de Castelnau's account farthest advanced in Chateau des Jacques's conversion to biodyna...

Burghound: This is also quite pretty though aromatically very different as here the nose speaks of distinct Meursault-like scents that run the gamut from classic hazelnut to yellow orcha...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Black cherry, dark chocolate and a hint of earth on the nose and palate. Sweet and vinous, with lovely balance and intensity for village wine. Finishes with ser...

Wine Spectator: Smoke and salted butter notes accent dried apricot, kumquat and mineral flavors, while intense acidity drives this to the moderate, floral finish. Drink now through 2015. Tast...

About this Wine: Wehlen's precipitously steep, rocky "sundial" vineyard consistently yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. The vineyard was rated "Erste L...

Wine Spectator: Ripe and creamy up front, with butter-framed melon, creamed peach and pear notes that are then offset by a stony edge on the fresh finish. Blossoms in the glass. Bourboulenc, ...

Wine Spectator: Combines richness with density and a tight core of pear, melon, green apple and light cedary oak flavors. This is raw and young, so give it time. The finish is complex, layere...

Wine Spectator: Pretty raspberry, mineral and vanilla aromas and flavors, with hints of dried herbs. Full-bodied, with good, silky tannins and a long finish that shows lots of raspberry and c...

Wine Spectator: Shows blackberry and olive on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and sweet, ripe fruit for the vintage. Balanced and pretty. Best after 2012. -JS

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From the bottle, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape has lived up to its pre-bottle form. Composed of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and the rest Mourvedre, Cinsault and other varietals, it...

Jancis Robinson: Very nicely balanced pure stuff. Quite a bargain! Made from a blend from four different climats (Baudes, Noirots, Groseilles and Gruenchers). Quite delicious. 17.5/20 VGV

Burghound: This was also on its fining matter and was also correspondingly funky. There is good richness though and plenty of punch to the noticeably finer middle weight flavors that pos...

Wine Spectator: This is stylish, with perfumy black tea and smoldering charcoal aromas followed by lightly mulled plum, fig and blackberry fruit. An echo of juniper shows on the mineral-edged...

Burghound: 100% from Seuvrées. Not surprisingly, this is completely different aromatically as the earthy, sauvage, ripe and cool dark berry fruit and underbrush-infused nose is not nearl...

Burghound: This was still on its fining materials and not surprisingly, the nose was moderately funky with obvious reductive notes. By contrast, there is good richness, concentration and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: This 80% Merlot/20% Cabernet Franc blend from the finest five acres of the Fombrauge vineyard (St.-Emilionâ_Ts largest workin...

Wine Spectator: Firm and finely meshed, with hints of passion fruit and pineapple mixing with poached apple, almond pastry and fleur de sel. Mouthwatering and lightly smoky on the lingering, ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau's 2010 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Buisson Renard displays prominently piquant nuttiness along with pronounced bite of citrus rind and pineapple core, all o...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From the dramatic, steep hillside that rises behind the village and opposite the northern terminus of En Charlemagne (but is not rated premier cru), Deux Montille's 2007 Perna...

Wine Spectator: A gentle, friendly wine for the vintage. Aromas of berries, tobacco and earth. Medium- to full-bodied, round, with soft tannins and a fruity aftertaste. Best after 2000
