2016 White Wine

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Super fresh aromas of lemon and lime zest, leading to fresh white peaches. This has a very impressive sense of purity and clarity that follows to the fresh, linear palate. Impressively refined chardonnay. Drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Impressive, flinty complexity with yellow citrus fruit and lighter peach aromas, leading to a palate that has a punchy array of vibrant peach flavor and a taut citrus thread to close. Complex and polished chardonnay here...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Sourced in the Goldert Grand Cru but marketed as 2016 Gewurztraminer "Roche Calcaire" (L 17G) because Olivier feared missing the balance he likes to have in a grand cru, this is a fascinating, highly elegant and refined...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Love the dried-flower and pie-crust aromas to the sliced-apple character. Full body. Very fruity and vivid. Flavorful finish. Excellent. This will change your mind about pinot bianco. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2016 Catena Alta Chardonnay was cropped from a cool El Niño year. It's fresh and elegant, with high acidity and moderate alcohol. The oak is almost imperceptible, as the wine is very intense and pungent. Eighty...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2016 Clémentin de Pape Clement Blanc reveals suggestions of fresh hay, dried persimmons, pineapple and wild thyme plus a waft of oyster shell. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean, with compelling saline notions, it...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Very elegant fresh white flowers with dill. Rich texture and nice candied lemon undertones. Short. Drink now

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A piercing rapier of a wine, with a dry, chiseled feel to the flint, chalk and chive notes that remain steely and focused through the finish. A light verbena hint echoes at the very end. Drink now through 2021. 510 cases...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2016 Chardonnay Cahill Lane gives up loads of honeyed peaches and ripe apple notes with touches of nutmeg, baking bread and marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with layer upon layer of bread, nut and...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This delicious bottling from the iconic estate is clean and taut on the nose, with aromas of lemon peel, Pink Lady apple, honeysuckle and a hint of toast. The palate is extremely well rounded and deep, showing fleshy...

jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: Similarly colored, the 2016 Ermitage Le Méal Blanc comes from a warmer terroir of pebbly and more loess soils and was brought up in 10% new demi-muids. It's a bigger, richer wine than the de l’Orée and boasts rocking...

jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: I loved both these wines, which come from the team at Château Lafleur. Starting with the white, the 2016 Château Grand Village Blanc (two-thirds Sauvignon and one-third Sémillon) is a glorious white that has racy...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: This is comprised of a blend of four different vineyards from Hudson’s Home Ranch and Henry Road Ranch, all planted to Shot Wente clone. It was barrel fermented with natural yeast in French oak, 60% new, and aged for 12...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Closed with a glass cork, the 2016 Alto Adige Stoan is a blend of 65% Chardonnay with 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer with an aromatic emphasis on the fragrant varieties. I just love these...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2016 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce is scented of fresh grapefruit, pineapple and warm apricots with hints of chalk dust, fresh ginger, brioche and cashews. Medium to full-bodied, it packs in tons of opulent tropical and...
