The 2020 vintage in Margaret River was moderate to warm and will be forever remembered for the incredibly compacted harvest period, which started two weeks earlier than the 2019 harvest before it and was all wrapped up by...

This is a layered yet expertly restrained and mineral-driven Chardonnay. Aromas of white flower petals, grapefruit pith and the slightest hint of toast are wrapped in ashy and chalky elements on the nose. The palate is...

The 2020 Chardonnay Adrianna Vineyard White Stones from Gualtallary, Uco Valley, was barrel-aged for 16 months. Greenish-yellow in the glass. The intense, layered nose presents bold aromas of green apple, pear, hints of...

A very cool and tight Corton Charlemagne with the intense spice, bold structure and steeliness that we expect from this appellation. Staggering concentration, which at this early stage makes the wine slightly austere, but...

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...

Clean, precise and expressive, this white exudes fresh lemon, apple, floral, lanolin and mineral aromas and flavors. Harmonious and leaves a mouthwatering impression, with the essence of lemon and stone. Approachable now...

Although not labeled as such, Beringer's Private Reserve Chardonnay has been sourced for decades from the Gamble Ranch in Oakville. Planted around 1976 to Clone 4, the grapes are picked ripe and barrel fermented at...

Pale primrose in colour. Like the Charmes, there is a light reduction, with a richer style of fruit beneath. The 2020 Perrières is certainly more exotic in the mouth, perfumed almost to a musky degree, then the acidity...

(91-94 points) Pale lemon in colour. A sun-filled nose without losing balance. This is attractive all the way through but does not kick on immensely beyond what the Clos des Grands Charrons and Terroir d’Exception can...

(91 - 93 points) Notes of citrus zest, orange oil, white flowers and pear preface the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Garenne (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, lively and complete wine with a fleshy core of...

(90 - 92 points) The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Embazées (Maison Louis Jadot) is turning out quite nicely, revealing aromas of citrus oil, pear, popcorn and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise...

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...

An incisive white, with a linear frame fused with stone, apple and lemon flavors. Shows a cool, flinty character that inflects the long saline aftertaste. This has precision balance and a terrific sense of place. Drink...

(94-97 points) Pale lemon colour. The power is immediately apparent on the nose, but in a good way. A wine for longer elevage before bottling and then worth the wait in bottle thereafter. This has all the expected volume...

The 2020 Chablis Mont de Milieu ler Cru certainly has one of the more austere aromatic profiles from this vineyard, though I like that. Reserved and a little "aloof", you keep coming back for more. The palate is well...

(92-94 points) The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes ler Cru has a slightly reduced bouquet, but there is real intensity here and fine mineralite. The palate is well balanced and carries the reduction well, fine weight, quite...

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...

The 2020 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a classy bouquet, quite complex with orchard fruit, struck flint and light peach skin scents. It conveys a sense of energy. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of...

The 2020 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has a straightforward bouquet that just lacks the engaging personality discerned on some of its peers. The palate is well balanced with orange cordial, lime and light mandarin notes...

The 2020 Chardonnay Estate has rich aromas of peaches, honey, chamomile and baker's yeast with gentle herbal tones. The palate offers bright freshness and nutty, honeyed fruits, and it finishes long and textural.

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a struck match reduction on the nose - though it is not too strong and should be subsumed with bottle age. The palate is well balanced with a tangy marmalade-tinged entry, fine...

Bright lemony fruit, hints of acacia flower and chamomile. The texture has a waxy and rich texture, but there is plenty of freshness to balance this weight. A very nice success. Domaine Gagey has 1.1ha in Beaun Grèves...

Packs a round profile that sets the stage for peach, lime blossom, iodine and baking spice flavors backed by bright acidity. Unfolds leisurely on the finish. Drink now.

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...
