The 2020 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard is fragrant and layered with lemon verbena, toasted brioche, and white peach. It has detail and definition in its structure, with refreshing acidity and a stony, lifted finish. Drink...

As I wrote earlier this year, Bonneau du Martray's 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, peach and nectarine mingled with white flowers, clear honey, nutmeg, mint and...

(91-93 points) Here the restrained nose is more floral but less citrus in character with moderately prominent spice and quinine nuances adding breadth. The palate impression is one of contrasts as the succulent and round...

Great flavor concentration and a nicely taut structure define this beautifully balanced wine. It is refreshing and rich at the same time, carrying light lemon zest and green-apple skin accents on a delicious base of...

This white shows a sharp underpinning of acidity, which defines smoky peach, stone and lemon flavors. Remains balanced while the flinty, mineral elements build to a lingering conclusion. Drink now through 2027. - BS

Aged for 11 months in 35% new French oak and predominantly from the Laguna Ridge neighborhood of the Russian River Valley, the 2020 Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyards is lifted, with flinty reduction and a touch darker...

(90-92 points) The 2020 Meursault Les Santenots Blanc ler Cru has a precise bouquet with lemon zest, orange blossom and crushed rock scents, all well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity...

The 2020 Chardonnay The 35 from John Sebastiano, is a potent, savory wine that very much reflects the wild personality of this site. Savory and mineral notes abound, while fruit is very much pushed into the background...

The vines are located in the upper part, turning towards Vaulorent. More green than yellow in the colour, very concentrated, very backward. Solid and weighty, not yet showing the detail. But length, and some fresh apricot...

The 2020 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU is a regal, elegant wine. Citrus, white flowers, mint, white pepper and jasmine are all finely cut in mid-weight, racy Chardonnay that captures all the best this...

Full pear and candied-lemon nose with quite pronounced, yeasty notes from sur-lie maturation and a hint of tarragon. Quite a rich, bold wine for Santenay, but with a cool, slightly herbal side that balances the ripeness...

96+ The 2020 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese * (Golden Capsule) is the only sweet Auslese that was selected in this prestigious terroir in 2020, a year where Molitor didn't achieve the concentration and complexity he...

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru, half aged in 400-litre oak barrels, has a rather straightforward nose considering the vineyard in question, although it opens with aeration. The oak here is a little obtrusive. The...

94+ Katarina Prüm’s 2020 Badstube Spätlese is simply stunning and one of the best wines I have ever tasted from this vineyard. The bouquet is electric, jumping from the glass in a mix of apple, fresh lime, lilacs, bee...

The 2020 Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett offers an aromatic bouquet of fully ripe fruit and crushed stones. Round and mouth-filling on the palate, this is a hedonistic Kabinett with very fine, mineral acidity. Just a...

The 2020 Vitovska Kamen captivates with a delicate yet complex bouquet that keeps the glass constantly swirling. Musky peach, yellow flowers, ginger and incense can all be found with coaxing. This is silky, nearly oily in...

Old Stones is Bergström's accessibly priced younger sibling to its flagship Sigrid. It's a voluminous supple wine enriched by streaks of sweet custard. Still, its ripe yellow cherry and tangerine flavours are dazzling and...

Very cool and reserved, but with great underplayed power, this is in every sense a very serious wine. Major structure crammed into a sleek package. Stunning depth at the very long, herbal and mineral finish. From...

There is a little more oak in the 2020 Valtuille Godello, because they purchased some new 500-liter oak barrels and that's a difference with the 2019. The destemmed grapes were pressed without any maceration, and the...

With its redcurrant and grapefruit-pith aromas this harmonious dry riesling should appeal to many sauvignon blanc fans. Light body with green-apple freshness at the slightly austere, earthy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

I know the reds get all of the attention here, but the whites are absolutely at the same level, and I don't know anyone doing white blends like this at the same level. A blend of 32% Roussanne, 26% Viognier, 25%...

The 2020 Château Valandraud Blanc is both deeper and richer, with a more concentrated, medium to full-bodied style as well as incredible aromatics of ripe melon, white fits, lemon, minty herbs, and chalky minerality. With...

The 2020 Château-Grillet knocks it out of the park. Vinified from just-ripe fruit harvested between the 26th and 31st of August, it dazzles with outstanding purity and complexity. Fragrant linden blossom, chamomile and...

(92-95 points) Pale lemon and lime, with both a refined bouquet and intensity behind. “The inimitable Clos Blanc” says Sylvie. So much fruit detail here, both the sharper styles such as fresh apple, through a whole range...
