2011 White Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Abbatucci’s 2011 Cuvee Collection: General de la Revolution Jean-Charles Abbatucci – for more on whose vinification and roster of ancient cepages, consult my review of the 2010 in issue 205 – is very nearly as exciting as...

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: A dense and creamy white showing lots of apple pie cream and honey. Full body with masses of new wood but I like the character. Dried pineapple and apple too. Vanilla aftertaste. Drink now or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Rated, but no tasting note given. Although these wines are normally reviewed by my colleagues David Schildknect in his Languedoc-Roussillon and Alsace reports and Lisa Perrotti-Brown in her reviews of Australian wines, I...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is really deep and dense with a long, long finish. It's full-bodied plus has mineral, salt and dried fruits. Very powerful with a super finish that's generous and sexy. Available in 2018.

Vinous, 96 points: (93-96) Soil-driven aromas of apple, mint, anise and menthol, with complicating notes of fresh herbs and white pepper. Dense, saline and seamless; at once very dry and chewy. Conveys a rare impression of glyceral texture...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Intriguingly musky and subtly fungal as well as piercing in its evocation of distilled pit fruits and botanicals, the nose of Donnhoff’s 2011 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Beerenauslese – which was picked alongside...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: Jean-Michel Chartron has produced a stellar bottle of Bâtard-Montrachet in 2011. As is well known, the Chartrons’ Bâtard-Montrachet hails from Domaine Ramonet’s parcel, as the two domaines effect a swap of grapes each...

James Halliday, 96 points: Vat 1 can always be relied upon to deliver a pure, focused and linear wine, year-in, year-out; as a young wine, there is just enough flesh for a little pleasure, with lemon sherbet, lime leaf and straw; the structure...
