A bird of a different feather, this marries a polished feel with the nervy, underlying zip of sel gris and quinine notes, while its core of green almond, star fruit and white peach opens slowly. Shows subtle accents of...

Seductive. Picked just before the Yquem harvest, ripe grapes on the cusp of noble rot, delivering crisp acidity and juicy fruit, a voluptuous mid palate, and a touch of bitterness at the finish, linking back to Yquem. An...

Polished. Generous body, smooth, mineral, savoury. Full on fragrant and zesty citrus, pamplemousse, white blossom, saline. 3.15pH. - SUZANNE MUSTACICH

A distinctive, singular style, with tangy, salty layers of apple and melon powered by succulent lemon-lime acidity. Silky and finessed, wafting with smoke and flint on the close. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and...

Pie crust, chalk, grapefruit and nutmeg on the nose of this chalky, minerally Champagne. Tight and driven, with sharp acidity and very fine bubbles. Delicious sea salt and citrus notes come through at the end. 100%...

(90-92 points) More subtle nuances of petrol and smoke are present on the nose of Granny Smith apple and mineral reduction. The fresh, bright and racy medium weight flavors display excellent length on the beautifully...

The 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is beautiful, with a fresh, lively style. Its notes of stone fruits, white flowers, citrus pitch, and crushed stone all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a pure...

Pineapple, orange marmalade and white nectarine begin on the nose accentuated by white blossom and dried lemon zest. Bright acidity doesn't overwhelm the fruit on the midpalate but plays a supportive partner along with...

Recently replanted from red, so young vines. Mid yellow in colour, with a density to the nose which was missing in the Santenay. Succulent ripe citrus, some orange blossom, but not too lush. Very impressive for young...

A good touch of ripe white fruits gives this wine, with its quince and pear aromas, a rounded character. Its red-apple flavors are cut with citrus, and perfumed from the Sauvignon Gris in the blend. Drink the wine now. —...

The 2021 Saumur Blanc Clos Romans possesses an expressive, floral bouquet of citrus oil, pomegranate, spring flowers and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming, profound and satiny palate that...

(91-94 points) There is a whiff of the exotic present in the form of tangerine-suffused aromas of white peach, freshly sliced citrus, rosemary oil and a floral top note. The succulent, even seductively textured...

Here too there is a Chablis-like hint of quinine adding breadth to the decidedly cool and citrusy green apple-scented nose. There is excellent cut and energy to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle...

A full-bodied, mineral-rich style, with a lot of power behind its lemon rind and stone fruit notes, which are broad and mouthfilling. The foundation of flinty mineral keeps this firmly taut through the long finish...

(92-94 points) A more restrained, and more complex, nose requires aggressive swirling to reveals its aromas of spiced apple, ripe pear compote and cool citrus wisps. Once again there is a gorgeous mouthfeel to the dense...

Replanted from red, so young vines from 2019. Mid lemon yellow. The same succulent and attractive nose as Sur Lavelle but perhaps just a touch more personality, less citrus, a little verbena. The fruit is very evenly...

A lively, mineral-powered version, with a gush of apple strudel, orange cream, ground ginger and fresh herbs including thyme and oregano. An intriguing style, with complexity and inner brightness that draws out the long...

Focused and structured, this generous wine offers a freshly picked basket of ripe lemon verbena, Bosc pear, Gala apples and pomelo balanced by a delicate, nervy finish of freshly cut grass, wet stone and button mushrooms...

(90-93 points) 75% wood and 25% in various types of neutral container. Pale lemon. A fine and classy nose with no wood in evidence, more of a mineral character, but no dominating reduction, just a whisper to add...

(91-94 points) Mid lemon yellow. Again this firm style on the nose, typical of the 2023s from Philippe Colin. However, there is intensity and a layer of cream towards the back. This is more complete than the Chaumées...

93+ Lively, gourmand and pure, the 2022 Blanc from de Fieuzal evokes aromas of verbena, white fruits, flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming, it's seamless with a fleshy, gourmand core of fruit...
