2014 White Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: From slate soils with calcareous parts, the 2014 Riesling Uhlen L 'VDP Grosse Lage' (picked in the lieut-dit Laubach) opens with a deep and cool, fascinating, yet still somewhat discreet and dusty/stony, herbal bouquet...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Old Guard is the most relaxed and open of these wines. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes are front and center, but it is the wine's crystalline purity and overall finesse that stand out most. In...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: (91+) The whites tend to spend one winter in topped up foudres and a second one in barriques that are not refilled. The current 2014 L'Etoile is the basic white produced exclusively with Chardonnay and is from a cooler...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Complex notes of bee pollen, saffron and caramel lend nuance to zesty apple and citrus peel aromas on this dry-style Riesling. It's a richly concentrated yet invigoratingly crisp wine marked by sun-kissed tangerine and...

Vinous, 96 points: The Fröhlichs’ signature site has never, in my experience, faced such formidable competition from their other Grosse Gewächse (which are also more numerous than ever, thanks to the post-2012 inclusion of Stromberg) but it...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: The Estate Riesling from Weingut Schaefer in 2014 finished off nicely at between thirty- five and forty percent residual sugar, to balance out nine grams per liter of acidity and is really a beautiful bottle of wine. The...

Vinous, 95 points: Ripe white peach, zesty fresh lemon, toasted squash seeds, wet stone and high-toned almond extract mingle on a stunningly forceful and multidimensional nose. The rich, expansive midpalate impression is by turns creamy and...

Vinous, 92 points: A head-turning nose of cherry and apple with their flowers incorporates intimations of mint and cress. This combination serves for a succulently fruity and coolingly herbal impression on the silky mid-palate that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Russian River has a classic baked apricots and apple pie-laced nose with nuances of roasted nuts and buttered toast. Medium to full-bodied and richly fruited, it has a seductive touch of oiliness to...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A fuller style of chardonnay with lots of cooked apple, pear and plenty of cream and lemon undertones. Flavorful and bright. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu was picked on September 16 and 17 and has one of the highest pH at 3.25. The bouquet is well defined with scents of acacia honey and even a little walnut developing with aeration in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: From 50 plus year old vines on yellow Buntsandstein soils with a sandy loam layer, the 2014 Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Trocken intertwines its deep and precise fruit aromas with earthy flavors on the nose to migrate...
