Riesling from France

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: (17/20) Barrel sample. Blue schist in parts. On Cambrian soil (also in Banyuls). Very slow fermentation. Super-clean nose but very solid rather than fruity on the palate. Vibrates on the end. Very terroir rather than...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: A vibrant white, crackling with a light saber of acidity that defines the flavors of nectarine, melon, grated ginger and star anise, revealing a tangy, saline-tinged undertow. Finely knit and long, with the fruit and...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Very ripe yellow-fruit character and considerable succulence without any hints of heaviness. A very long and stony finish of serious complexity that shows wonderful freshness. A great food wine, especially with spicy East...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: A lot of roasted citrus fruits, but the mineral character is stronger. The mineral component keeps the reins in its hand, driving the wine on to a very straight path and keeping it there in spite of higher alcohol (just...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Still rather closed with only hints of candied citrus and toast on the nose, but this has the concentration and profundity of a top grand cru. Tightly wound and so, it needs some time to unfurl. But it already has a...

Vinous, 96 points: Medium orange-gold. High-toned, tangy aromas of orange, lime peel, fresh apricot, nuts and honey. The palate pairs great thickness with electric acidity, giving an almost painful quality to the very sweet apricot and...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Tight and poised with sliced apples, pears and mineral undertones. Medium body. Dry and fruity. Zingy and bright. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Very nice citrusy fruit on the palate and enough acidity to balance the medium-full body. There's a hint of marzipan on the nose that takes a little bit away from it. Made from organically grown grapes.

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: There's a hint of marzipan on the nose that a lot of 2014s have. On the palate this is quite a big, bold dry wine with plenty of appeal. The finish is impressively long. Best now or in 2018 and 2019. Organic wines.
