2012 White Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2012 Chardonnay Isobel (980 cases) comes from 31-year-old vines planted in the Charles Heintz Vineyard, and spent 13 months in 39% new oak. It offers classic notes of tangerine oil, apple blossoms, caramelized citrus...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: (made from 55% marsanne, 35% roussanne and 10% viognier; 5% new oak in large format): Pale yellow. Intensely perfumed nose offers fresh and dried pit fruits, jasmine and floral honey. Bright minerality adds lift and cut...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: (94-96 points) Pale, bright yellow. Sexy high-pitched yet delicate aromas of nectarine, lime, flint and white flowers on the captivating, almost Mosel-like nose. Then broad and inviting, offering soft, nuanced flavors of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Caillerets from Domaine Paul Pillot has a detailed, mineral-driven bouquet that is nicely focused, slightly fumé in style with...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: 94+ The 2012 Corton-Charlemagne was showing very well and has clearly gone into the bottle with all of the potential it showed in cask fully intact. The bouquet delivers a classic blend of apple, pear, iodine, a fine...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Bright, pale yellow. Inviting aromas of mirabelle, honey and clove. Sweet, plump, round and concentrated, with yellow fruit and honey flavors lifted on the back by white flowers. Broad, mouthcoating...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: (ST90-92 points) Good bright, light yellow. Subdued aromas of peach, smoke and menthol show more soil character than primary fruit today. Offers good density and sweetness, but initially a bit brutal on the palate in...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: Bright yellow. Peach, lemongrass, mango, papaya and rose water on the pretty nose. Tactile and layered on the palate, with intense white stone fruit and ginger flavors lifted by a strong floral element. Impeccably...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: Pale yellow-gold. Musky citrus oil, quinine, ginger and spearmint complicated by minerals on the nose. A bit more exotic on the palate but dry and taut as well, with complex flavors of stone fruits, minerals, licorice and...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A rich, focused white, with pure, lush flavors of apple, Asian pear and gooseberry accented by engaging notes of salted almond. Lemon cream and spice details linger on the ripe, rich finish. Refined and alluring. Drink...
