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, 91 points: The 2012 Director’s Reserve White is a blend of 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Semillon raised in 30% new French oak for nine months with regular lees stirring. It has a more herbaceous and earthier bouquet compared to the...

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...

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, 91 points: Green-tinged yellow. Fresh lemon and orange zest on the nose, with hints of white flowers and chalky minerals gaining strength with air. Sappy citrus fruit and melon flavors are complemented by musky iodine and floral...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A lively style, with a piercing feel to the anise, kiwifruit and quince flavors, followed by intense mirabelle plum, pear eau-de-vie and green almond notes. The long, minerally edge holds the finish. Drink now through...
