2013 White Wine

Wine Spectator, 92 points: The fine structure creates a nervous tension in this white, with lemon, chalk and baking spice flavors. Balanced, showing intensity and a mouthwatering finish that echoes the citrus, mineral and spice elements. Best from...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Even purer and perhaps more sophisticated than the Bockstein is the sweet 2013 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese ** with its cool, slate purity and springlike citrus and blossom aromas, which are delivered as lime...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: This is a phenomenal white with super density and energy. Full body, yet incredibly agile and intense. Fabulous character of salt, mineral and shells. Hints of tannin too. Dried white peach. Pear and apple. Super subtle...

Vinous, 96 points: Sage, marjoram and white pepper practically assault the nose in a fashion that signals “Pechstein” before it suggests “nobly sweet,” although hints of candied lime and glazed pineapple do anticipate the ennobled, sweet...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The art of selection comes to another highlight in the sweet 2013 Ockfener Bockstein Auslese ** whose concentrated lemon aromas are pure and precise and interwoven with earthy/rocky flavors with a laser-like precision and...

Vinous, 91 points: Pale yellow. Sweet, ripe aromas of yellow plum and oak char, plus a more exotic suggestion of mirabelle. The yellow fruit flavors show good power and penetration, along with an attractive sucrosité that belies the wine's...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Stunningly clear and pure on the citric-perfumed nose, the sweet 2013 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese *** is characterized by its laser-like precision and elegance, which is perfectly paired with its vibrant acidity and...

Vinous, 90 points: Pale yellow. Much fresher on the nose than the Preuses, with ripe peach and powdered stone aromas complemented by spicy, vanillin oak; not exotic but still more Côte d'Or than Chablis in style. Fresh peach, lemon oil and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2013 Meursault (this the Narvaux bottling) has a straight-down-the-line, flinty/burnt match nose that we have all come know and love from this domaine. Frankly, nobody achieves the precision like this. The palate is...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: A tight skein of lemon, apple and spice is fused to the vibrant structure in this linear white. A bit pinched on the finish for now, but should stretch out nicely with a little time. Indeed, with a few hours of air...

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93 points) Once again the nose is quite reduced and impossible to assess. In the same fashion as the Perrières there is a lovely sense of tension and complexity to the slightly denser and more powerful flavors that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (92+ points) Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Brouilland. The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières was hugely impressive from barrel, though this showing indicates that the wine has shut down after bottling...

Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) An exotic, beguiling beauty, the 2013 Chablis La Forest seems to bring together the expansiveness of the Sechets and the intense minerality of the Vaillons. Graphite, minerals and exotic, perfumed fruit...
