Decanter, 98 points: 2015 was cool and rainy in spring, warm and dry in July and August; the harvest was then postponed. The wine has its typical reductive character with a prickle of CO2 at the beginning, then focused lime notes, hints of...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ The 2015 Viré-Clessé Cuvée E. J. Thevenet opens in the glass with notes of fresh peach, confit lemons, white flowers and clear honey. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with striking...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: A 50/50 field blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay, the 2015 L'Etoile En Banode comes from a plot that names the wine, a vineyard planted in 1970. The two varieties are picked and fermented together, as they want to focus on...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese ** (White Capsule) opens enormously deep, rich, ripe and concentrated on the nose, with smoky/flinty aromas intermixing with perfectly ripe yellow stone fruit and also yeasty...
Wine Spectator, 93 points: Expressive and complex, featuring an explosion of marmalade, candied lemon peel, peach custard and grilled grapefruit flavors. The smooth, succulent body is highlighted by spice and floral accents, with a juicy core of...
Vinous, 94 points: The 2015 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a very sophisticated, understated bouquet that is beautifully defined, with great focus and real mineralité flooding through with aeration. The succinct palate offers...
Vinous, 93 points: Mindego Ridge's 2015 Chardonnay is especially rich and opulent in this vintage. Apricot, peach, brioche, orange confit, tropical fruit and butter are all pushed forward. Exotic, bold and racy to the core, the Chardonnay...
Vinous, 93 points: The 2015 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru sports very slight reduction on the nose, but the terroir comes through: fine definition, scents of crushed stone and a little walnut, a subtle marine influence in the background...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The dry 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Hubertuslay Auslese ** (White Capsule) is from very fine slate soils that give power to the wines (not in terms of alcohol, though). Cool and flinty on the nose, this is a very powerful...
jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Smells like dripping leaves and flowers after a tropical storm. Great dried fruit flavors and a brilliant acidity that lights them up. Stunning concentration and a very long, electric finish where the sweetness is barely...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is much more lush and tropical than the other H-L wines. Mouth-filling super-ripe star fruit, papaya, mango flavors, but remains dry with just enough acidity to prevent all this from being too much. Slightly austere...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ The 2015 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) opens super piquant and concentrated on the nose, with intense and fresh lime and some smoky slate aromas. Concentrated and fine, with a piquant and...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This wine's Honeycrisp apple and Applejacks cereal scents lead the nose before bold layers of luxurious texture confirm its complexity and overall appeal on the palate. Densely packed with flavor, it also shows plenty of...
