One of the best Sauvignon Blancs in the world, the 2023 Château Couhins Blanc is based on 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sauvignon Gris and was aged eight months in 25% new French oak with the balance in neutral barrels and...

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...

Attractive nose of minerals, wet stones, orchard fruit and yuzu zest. Pure and zingy, with a medium body and a linear feel to the center palate. Long and quite saline and stony in nature. Very mineral, uncompromising and...

Complex aromas of chalk, dried apple and pear with some cream. It’s full-bodied and open now. Chalky at the finish. Lightly layered palate. Drink or hold.

The 2023 R Vin Blanc de Rieussec is a very pretty, understated dry white. Lemon peel, sage, mint and apple build with a bit of coaxing. Gracious and beautifully lifted, the R is a tasty wine to drink over the next few...

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%...

Ripe lemon notes on this wine's nose have hints of Mirabelle plum and lemon-peel waxiness. The palate is rounded and smooth, but shot through with ripe lemon zest. This wine is fruitier and richer than expected, but...

The 2024 Sancerre from Comte Lafond has turned out beautifully in this challenging vintage. The wine comes in at thirteen percent octane and its aromatic constellation delivers scents of lemon, green apple, gooseberry...

Ripe stone and tropical fruits, minty herbs, and white flower nuances all emerge from the 2023 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc, a clean, crisp, and expressive Pessac-Léognan Blanc. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with a...

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...

Don't mess with the 2021 Saumur Blanc L’Échelier: it's got attitude—flirty, floral and transparent, with the purity of a glacier. The Germains didn't do any malolactic despite the natural acidity of this vintage. This is...

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...

(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...

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. —...

(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...

While this wine is currently quiet, it shows a lot of promise. Mouthwatering and long on the palate, it offers attractive citrus pith, delicate white flowers and fresh almonds. Cellar hold for 5-7 years. — Anna-Christina...
