2012 White Wine

Vinous, 93 points: 93+ A totally elusive wine, the 2012 Chablis Les Preuses is playing its cards close to the vest. A brilliant, energetic Chablis, the Preuses shows considerable textural depth, but is otherwise not terribly expressive...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Intense in color (straw-golden) and bouquet (ripe and concentrated yet precise fruits, with stony/flinty flavors), the 2012 Riesling Steiner Hund shows some earthy and herbal flavors along with white fruits. Aged for 2.5...

Vinous, 92 points: Light yellow. Subtle aromas of fresh yellow apple and pineapple are laced with wild herbs. Juicy and fine-grained, with piquant acidity framing the lemon and mineral flavors. In spite of its enormous depth, this chenin...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (88 - 90) The 2012 Chablis, which comes from relatively young vines planted in 2003 in a single block opposite Montmains, nevertheless has very fine mineralite and poise on the nose, a little tighter than the 2013...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This wine has a full-bodied character that is very ripe. Pepper dominates the flavors, showing off the quince and pear fruits. There is perhaps too much sulfur at this touch, so let it blow off when opening and before...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: A dusting of crushed slate accents pretty blossom and peach notes on the nose of this elegant yet remarkably powerful Riesling. It's delicately textured, but accumulates rich, ripe, juicy stone fruit and melon flavors as...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (98+ points) No tasting note for this wine.

Vinous, 95 points: The 2012 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is a wine of pure texture. Lemon, white flowers, dried pears, mint and spices meld together in the glass. Absolutely nothing is out of place here. The flavors are vivid, intense and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir has a crisp and precise, granitic nose that blossoms with aeration. The palate is very well-focused with good depth, hints of orange peel, tangerine and a dash of ginger livening up the...

Vinous, 95 points: 95+ The 2012 Chablis La Forest is one of the most reticent wines in this range. Here it is the wine's phenolic weight and vertical sense of structure that stand out. Lemon oil, ash, smoke and petrol are some of the many...
