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...

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...

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...

91+ The 2023 Couhins Blanc is a potent dry white. It offers plenty of textural depth but is also a bit reduced. I find the aromatics a touch muddled, the wine's considerable power notwithstanding. I would be curious to...

There’s a lovely honeysuckle accent breezing along over the top of fresh white nectarine, yellow apple and fennel flavors. A vibrant quinine note adds lovely energy through the lengthy, mouthwatering finish. Sauvignon...

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...

(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...

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Crays 1er Cru has an elegant bouquet with nectarine, light Clementine scents, just a touch of nettle and white tea. There is wonderful delineation and a flintiness gradually emerges. The palate...

(90-92 points) There are three barrels of the 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, whose vines were replanted in 2020 after being pulled up in 2015. Half the bunches were taken off in July before véraison to control vigor...

(90-92 points) Offering up aromas of pear, orange zest and freshly baked bread, the 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a succulent, charming profile. More immediate than its...

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche 1er Cru has a more immediate nose than the Aux Charmes, soaring with yellow plum, fern and light smoky notes with time. It conveys a sense of classicism. The palate is beautifully...

Pale lemon and lime. The Referts has immediately more bouquet than Garenne, a fresh white orchard fruit. This builds steadily on the palate, with considerable distinction, excellent energy, and fresh acidity. Stylish and...

(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...

(92-94 points) A petrol-scented nose of acacia blossom, soft citrus and a pretty array of spice nuances is trimmed in all but invisible oak. The broad-shouldered flavors are rich to the point of opulence though with no...
