2015 White Wine

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...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: Showing beautifully, the 2015 Chardonnay offers a touch of maturity in its caramelized peach, pineapple, flora, and toasted bread-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and beautifully textured on the palate, it has...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Deidesheimer Mäusehöhle Riesling (AP 2216) opens with a pure and refreshing, rather coolish aroma (compared to the Leinshöhle) of ripe yellow fruits intertwined with stony aromas. Round, fresh and elegant on the...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2015 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has a backward but refined bouquet of apple blossom and light limestone aromas, creating an impression that is both elegant and understated. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: In spite of the enormous concentration of dried yellow fruit flavors, this has a gracefulness and a great vitality that make it breathtaking. A spectacular Auslese to drink now, but it also has enormous aging potential...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: 98+ The 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) displays clear, intense and fresh aromas of ripe pineapples, lemon fruits and crushed stones, indicating gorgeous purity. Crystalline and highly...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese is lovely, clear and flinty on the nose and, like the Spätlese, is characterized by its noble aristocracy, but also lemony freshness and great purity. There seems to be...

Burghound, 90 points: (88-90 points) There is excellent Chablis character and especially so for the vintage along with notes of apple, pear and floral scents. The nicely concentrated medium weight flavors possess good volume and punch before...

Vinous, 90 points: This leans toward the earthy, mealy, smoky aspects of its site, but with lemony brightness laid alongside. The feel is full, firm and polished. Sweaty salinity serves for saliva-inducement on a finish of serious grip...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese *** (White Capsule) opens super fine and precise as well as rich and concentrated on the nose, with flinty fruit and some highly noble sur lie aromas. On the palate, this is a...

Vinous, 91 points: The 2015 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a light, tightly coiled bouquet that may require another year to fully unwind. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity, and quite saline in the mouth. The...

Burghound, 94 points: (91-94 points) An exceptionally primary nose only reluctantly offers up its ripe but attractively fresh aromas of various white orchard fruit, floral, spice and discreet citrus nuances. There is outstanding volume to the...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Exotic aromas of sliced mangoes and green papaya with undertones of pebbles and lemon rind. Full-bodied and dense — showing plenty of phenolic tension — yet this remains vivid and bright. Dried fruits such as apricots and...

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: This extroverted reserve-style wine combines generous buttery and nutty nuances with crisp and bracing apple and Anjou-pear flavors to find a very good balance. It feels full bodied and luxurious but stays lively due to...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This wine is undeniably floral and voluptuous and hard to resist on the nose alone. Honeysuckle, lemon peel and flint tease and please around a focused core of oak and gritty texture of stone. Full bodied, it's lush and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90 - 92 points) The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet les Encegnieres was matured in 20% new oak with 30% aged in foudres. It offers quite a complex array of scents: citrus peel, oyster shell, wet granite and a subtle fumé-like...

Vinous, 92 points: Sour mash and cider are wreathed in bittersweet floral perfume and mingled with corn shoots and chalk in this sappily concentrated elixir. The feel is polished and the perfumed and mineral elements strikingly persistent...

Decanter, 100 points: Named in honour of his great-grandfather Georg and his youngest son Max, Keller's 2015 G-Max is the most in need of serious cellaring of all his dry Rieslings. Notes of lemon, wet stones, fresh bread and white flowers...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: The Fontaine family’s parcel of vines in Vergers lie right on the border with Clos St. Jean and celebrated their forty-fifth birthday in 2015. This too is a classic expression of Vergers, delivering a fine aromatic...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ Kühn's citrus-colored 2015 Rheingau Riesling Auslese Oestrich Lenchen VDP Grosse Lage Gold Capsule (AP #15 16) opens with a very clear, deep, elegant and beautifully concentrated bouquet of ripe fruits (pineapples)...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92 points) Pale, bright yellow. Inviting aromas of peach, flowers and noble Puligny herbs, accented by spicy high notes. Sweet, slightly fat and easygoing in the mouth, showing noteworthy depth and richness to its...

Vinous, 90 points: The 2015 Chablis La Forêt 1er Cru has an attractive, well-defined bouquet of dried honey, pressed flowers and light citrus aromas. The palate is taut and linear, offering green apple, pear and a touch of spice underpinned...
