2013 White Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: Bottled in June 2016, this texturally silken, supremely elegant effort transparently and kaleidoscopically combines moss, wet stone, gentian, buddleia, coriander, pepper, piquant yet rich nut oils and a saline clam broth...

Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) A hint of sulfur does not materially detract from the ripe and fresh nose that is comprised by notes of apple, acacia blossom and pear scents. There is a lovely underlying tension to the well-detailed and...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Highly Recommended. Rich, elegant flavors of Fuji apple, kiwifruit and green peach glisten with intense flinty notes. Hints of fig and anise emerge as well, presenting luscious minerality on the seductively spiced...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Wonderful and compelling aromas of dried mango, pineapple and honey. Honeysuckle too. Full body and a very, very persistent finish with ripe fruit and tangy acidity. A phenomenal wine. Made from biodynamically grown...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Absolutely sensational, the 2013 Chardonnay Isobel comes exclusively from the 32-year-old vines of the Charles Heintz Vineyard. Barrel-fermented and aged 13 months on its lees, then four months in tank, this wine...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: The 2013 Chardonnay offers a super-intriguing interplay of the vivid, crystalline purity that is such a signature of the appellation, along with soft contours that give the wine much of its welcoming personality. Scents...

Burghound, 91 points: (BH89-91 points) A slightly riper and more complex nose is composed by essence of pear, white peach and dried flowers. There is more volume as well as mid-palate concentration to the medium-bodied and palate coating...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: (94+) The 2013 Clos de la Truffière is flat out stunning at Domaine Niellon, as these old vines (which Monsieur Coutoux notes are “completely healthy and very different than the Bâtard”) have really produced a stunning...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: 91+ The 2013 Puligny villages is excellent, wafting from the glass in a refined blend of apple, white peach, a lovely base of limestone, orange zest and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and exudes...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Chardonnay was aged for 19 months in 80% new French oak but never reveals that it spent that length of time in so much oak. Crisp, elegant white peach, honeysuckle, and lemon honey are all present in this...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Leitz's green-yellow 2013 Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Trocken Ehrenfels from the Ehrenfels parcel offers a precise, fresh, intense and elegant (though still somewhat yeasty) aroma of limes, leafs, grapefruit and...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Aromas of white peaches, lemons and gunpowder. Full body, very tight and focused. Its broad palate closes to a tight fruit finish. Fantastic wine.

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) A whisper of exotic fruit adds breath to the very fresh dried yellow orchard fruit, acacia blossom and discreetly spicy nose. As one would reasonably expect this is notably bigger, richer and more...
